Cool

I should add that the 757 program is far superior to the "old school" programs, either are still a lot of work to do more than learn the test. Having said that I have a very nice powerpoint that I made as flash cards for the test.

...It's pathetic. Everyone in my class got 100%. I know some of those clowns just studied the test questions...

…I guess. I mean, this is going to sound crazy because I get sooooo nervous during orals, but I kind of wish we had one. I feel like I didn't learn jack with this method…


Freightpuppy, I disagree with you. I think AQP is great and if other guys in your class only studied the questions, well, sooner or later it’ll show. I say keep it the way it is…

I didn't say that we should change it. My opinion was that, for me, I feel like I would learn a lot more the old way. That's noone's fault but mine because there is nothing stopping me from studying just as much. The old way just MAKES you do that where AQP doesn't make it studying your a$$ off a pure necessity. Trust me, I like less pressure in training but, I just feel that it didn't motivate me to study as much. It could have something to do with the fact that this was my third airplane in three years and I was sick of training but nevertheless, my own fault.

The new books (ie systems manual) have been watered down somewhat according to those who have been on the 757/767 for years. There are few hard numbers to memorize because they're basically not there in most cases. Totally different animal than the 727/DC-8 where you would tear down and rebuild every system. It can be frustrating, however, when you do have a question and our books don't address it.
