I will not work on a Mac, luckily my wife has a PC so I could get it done. I just finished the course, I figure it took me about 60 hours to do it. It takes time to go through the material, take notes, and then pass the exam. There are 30 general subjects, each with an exam. The systems portion has I believe 12 or 14 subjects, then 1 systems test. I actually got a lot out of the course, it was a good review.

You will get the training disk and another reference disk which has a lot of info on the FMS, but no software. You will get a little orientation into the FMS in MSP. When you get to Montreal you will have the software available to you in the classroom to play with. I was fairly comfortable with it by the time I hit the SIM.

You will do all the written tests during the home study portion, (CBT). I don't recall the exact number but for the FOM portion their are quite a few. During the system portion you can do all of that offline except f or the final exam which needs to be done online. You will do one or two during your week in MSP but they are a non issue, none during training in YUL.

January lines
Well I thought I would drop a line about the Jan. lines since I was about to put my bid in. The raw numbers for the lines are as follows: Hard lines = 32, Buildups = 2, Reserve lines =28. This makes the first month where we have more hard lines than RSV lines. Improvements in my book 
.
On the down side we seem to have a reduction in effciency in the lines in JAN though. We only have 2 lines with 17 days off and no 18 day offs. We also have quite a few pairings with 5 day trips
. Those can drag on! Well all that aside, everyone stay safe out there and get all that consolidation done for the love of ***!
