I'll drop you a PM when I get into town.

We can go from there.

Look forward to meeting everybody this week.

You mean the male house....

I just read about your airline in Air Transport World magazine.

Sounds like a great airline.

Where are your bases?

How is the pay?

Did you get the Dropbox email from the company?

It had links to stuff for the Saab in .pdf format.

Those of you whom have been thru this before have any pointers on how best to study, and what priority to memorize stuff in etc?

Also any pointers on what to pack/ bring for this ground school from school supplies and beyond would be helpful. I'm thinkink so far highlighters, notebooks, pens , index cards...

I personally end up highlighting and tabbing my manuals, but that is just me. Know the important stuff like the back of your hand, and know how to find the rest of the information fast.

I find that small study groups (4 people max - i.e. two sets of sim partners if assigned that early) work better than larger groups. Quiet settings. Meet often. Ask questions and get answers to stuff you don't know from the instructors.

Does anybody know if Silver gives you a flight deck poster to use for home study?
