Yep, I put any associated limitations/notes from class next to each switch (you can edit in app). Much easier than carrying around the systems powerpoints. I think there is a -700/900 one as well.

There's even an APD in the schoolhouse that uses that APP to give students oral; so-to-speak, that is.

Don't get tied up into apps and extra study material. Pay attention in class, listen to the instructors, and try to learn something new in each training day.
You want to make sure you are really prepared? Read all 3 books cover to cover. Sounds like a lot of reading, but read each system section as you go through it, read the FOM during indoc, read the CFM prior to FTD training. Once you show up to sims you can practice and apply all of it and be taught all you need to know. By the time you do your Checkride you will be extremely prepared. Sure, some of the instructors know the books cover to cover and some also have the bombardier systems and Mx books to know systems down to the rivet and wire, but students aren't expected nor responsible for anything more than the 3 books you are given and taught in initial. Don't overthink it or make it a bad thing for instructors/check airman/examiners (APD's) to know the plane deeper than taught in ground school. It only helps in the transfer of knowledge to students. Everyone you meet in training wants you to succeed, there are no vindictive folks, regardless of what folks think from past history prior to DL taking over and creating "Endeavor". Things are very different from years ago in the training group.

Does anyone know if domestic partners travel free or is there a fee every time they travel? I looking through the fares, Fees, and taxes PDF and it says they travel free, but under another subject line it says they're charged an imputed income fee.

They do travel free on your pass rider. There is just an additional form you have to fill out to prove domestic partner status. I believe y'all would have to have been together for 6 months to be considered domestic partners.

To echo what Higney said, everyone I encountered in training was more than happy to help out. No one is there to see you fail- you put the effort in and they will meet it and more. There is some great knowledge and experience in the training department, ask questions and come prepared and they'll take care of the rest.
