FDX-Computer based training (CBT) question...
Ok,
I have recurrent training next month, the 1 year 3day training with LOFT. Maybe I've been on the moon for the last year or so but I just logged on to do the systems and GOS CBT stuff and it looks like there is no more CBT but this brilliant LMS that replaced it I'm guessing. The kicker is this. I've always been able to do the CBT stuff on my Macbook which doesn't seem to be possible with LMS. When I go to LMS via the PFE website it takes me directly to the exams but there is no option to actually see the lessons. Can anyone shed some light on this? This is just another way FDX managed to take something simple (CBT) and complicate the hell out of it.... Oh, yeah, Merry Christmas everyone...

From jetflyers thread on FB:
but life goes onFrom jetflyers thread on FB:
lms works fine on a mac running osx it just says it doesn't work
I have OS X (Ver 10.7.5) and it ran just fine on my Mac.
I have version 10.6.8. I couldn't get the lessons to load. Each time I select a course, it takes me directly to the exam. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
If it's recurrent, going straight to the exam is the way it's set up. At least, that's what a manager pilot told me.
The exam is recurrent....it was the best recurrent I've done. You'll keep active, and not sitting back watching stuff you already know.
Just take the exams!

Jepp LMS?
Is anyone besides me having trouble with the Jepp LMS? I can log into LMS with my Mac (yes, I know the min. system requirements says Windoz only, Mac NOT supported) and I can get as far as clicking on the "lesson" before it crashes. It crashes in both OSX and Windows XT?
Suggestions?
Thanks ... MM

I wonder if the company realizes that the iPads that they want us to own use Safari? Maybe if the company provides iPads in some form, they will finally add Safari to the list of fully supported browsers.
