If you are horrible at interviewing, it would be worthwhile to get the generic stuff down from a place like Emerald Coast. Not just for K4, but for the rest of your life, it's a worthwhile education.

Thanks for that info.

The big thing is if you are 747 or 767. Unlike K4, who has one pilot pay rate, the pay rate on the 767 is terrible, and much lower than the bad pay rates on the 747.

Even during training very little "raw data" flying is accomplished or required and during the check as well.
A good scan requires regular practice without the F/D, A/T and A/P.
