The Mad Dog is old school. CBT films (touch the engine...touch it now), fixed base trainer sessions, and then an oral all in SDF. Then, for my class, out to Long Beach, CA to hang out with the hippies that designed the jet. If I recall, it's 8 sim sessions, a warm-up and then a rating ride or PC for those previously typed. Afterwhich, is a loft where you learn to use the crew bunk and turn sandwich trays into gourmet meals.
I have been through too many ground schools, but this one is actually not bad.

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…

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.
