It doesn't say in the study guide that we aren't allowed to carry a backpack, but he asked it, and I knew that it was in FM1. I was also asked questions about the radar that weren't in the guide, and that's why it's a guide and not an overriding document.

Incorrect. The question bank is a start point. If a weak area is noted, the examiner asks additional questions, not necessarily from the bank until he is satisfied with the students knowledge.

People typically don't have much trouble with the oral, it's the sim from where the majority of unsats come.

Perhaps poor quality of instructors is to blame. FO's are being hired as instructors now with not enough experience.

It's so obvious you have no idea what you're talking about and simply trolling every time you post.

How many years of experience is enough? You do realize we have FOs that are more senior to CAs.

Thats irrelevant. They are still FO's and never had that 121 CA experience.

No thanks.

Did he spend his time drinking or studying? Any aircraft/program that's new should be taken seriously. Do otherwise at your own risk (as seen here.)

But maybe that's the instructor in me talking.

He didn't get wasted every night if that's what your asking. He just wasn't studying as much as he needed too. He took the training to lightly.

Hmmmmmm I guess when I FINALLY do get on a "jungle jet" then that all of a sudden means the guy with 300 hours has more "experience" than the rest of all of us in the boat of having 1500+ hours... never mind your (insert) Type statement at X Airline in X seat. Troll it on.

One big mistake new hires make in training is not partnering up in a study group. You don't know what you don't know. If you try to study by yourself, you will miss areas that you didn't know you were weak on.

Start on memory items and limitations as soon as you get your a/c assignment. Learn your profiles to the point you can recite them forward/backwards and start in the middle.

When practicing callouts and flows, add a second activity to the drill. You fly the same way. Balance a marble in the center of a glass plate while walking around the room while making calls. Get a deck of cards and play solitare while reciting calls and flows. Anything to engage your mind with two tasks at once.

It doesn't stand for anything, like TSA, for example.
It's not MESA; it's Mesa.
