Please do not tell the instructors how stupid this or that is. Kalitta signs your paycheck so learn it and do it the Kalitta way. It is all about standardized procedures.
The instructor scripts for each lesson are posted online. Please do not try to memorize the script. UNDERSTAND the material. If you memorize the answers in systems, and don’t understand how it works that will become an obstical to your learning in the sim.
It matters more that you know that if you have a #4 demand pump inop and shut down the #4 engine that you will lose hydraulic pressure for the #4 system when you slow to flaps 10 speed. The windmilling engine cannot spin fast enough anymore to provide hydraulic pressure. This is not written anywhere but comes from understanding how hydraulic systems and pumps in all aircraft work.

Four year degree is basically paying money to be brainwashed into a leftist. Expensive piece of paper that is becoming less essential every day.
Europeans treat flight school as a degree program. Outside the USA, college is all core classes, the liberal arts bullcrap is left at the high school levels. Imagine, going to college to actually learn a profession?

I am an airline pilot (and, if I do say so myself, a somewhat successful one) because I sucked so bad at pre-law that I got the boot from my undergrad program. No degree for me. Not what I wanted, but what I got.
Although I think it enhances somebody's chances of getting the interview, I think we have quite a few years of panic hiring going on across the industry that will make the 4 year degree not such a big deal.
Another true factoid...
My dad was a WW2 vet. And a graduate of both Harvard Law and the Harvard Business School. His wealthiest Army buddy was a kid who never went to collage and instead was an apprentice plumber. Who started his own business and ended up being the prime plumbing contractor for the World Trade Center twin towers.
A career is what you make of it. The paper is just that. A piece of paper.
