Smooth so far. Professional program with some pretty smart instructors. Lessons are not spoon feed but it's not all that difficult either. Just have to study and pay attention, just like any other 121 school.

Hi, It's all good. In sims now. 9 non-motion then the oral and then 9 full motion. No spoon feeding but all the info needed is available to you. Some of us would rather have different ways of doing the flows in the plane. They really don't "flow" at all but nothing you can't get used to.

The biggest aggravation are the call outs and how they have to be word for word exactly, but when it's all said and done, once the call outs sink in and become second nature, their not that big a deal.

Pretty happy with my decision to come here so far. The company is not without some issues. They could use some help in the IT department, but I'm happy and I feel this is a good time to be here.

Just the pheasant farm, which is mentioned in most of the posts here concerning ABX. You can PM me for the number. It's not great, but if you get your roommates all on the same "let's keep it clean page", it'll work. I'm picky and if I can make it work, anyone can.

Your gonna want to stay with your classmates if you can. The value of us being in the same place to study at every opportunity is priceless. There is a lot to learn here and my suggestion is to get memory items and limitations done and out of the way with before you even show up. Both 200 and 300 differences.

Learning full 200/300 differences is wasted time. (thats why we have differences manuals) Memory items without reference are just words. Drink slowly from the garden hose!

Slightly misspoken on my part. There are specific differences that they want memorized and will need to be known for the oral, not all of them. It's just a few, If anyone wants a heads up of which ones, just pm me.

I would still have the memory items and limitations down. It will make life easier while trying to memorize other things here.
