There is plenty to study and review on your own that is far more important. Review the FARs, review instrument procedures, review weather. The limitations and memory items are just a small piece of what you should be reviewing.

I get that for pay purposes time on property transfers (ex. a 2 year FO upgrades and is paid as a 2 year CA) but when looking at R1 times, etc., is it the same? If the chart shows 2.4 years CA to be R1, does that mean that upon upgrade the same CA in the above scenario just needs another .4 to hold the line, or that the clock started over at promotion and he had another 2.4 to go?

I had a question about the study guide they sent out for initial. When you are learning the flows, is it a Challenge, Do, Verify style of checklist, or are both pilots doing their flow from memory with a checklist backup? Just wondering if I have to memorize the flow items or just the structure. Thanks

I have mentioned this before. The current time to be a line holding captain at PSA is about 2.5 years. Not only did the current upgrades get to upgrade quickly, they also spent very little time on reserve.
Personally, I have only spent a couple months on reserve as a FO and captain combined.
It isn't just the upgrade time that matters. Some friends at other airlines upgraded just as fast as me, and now they will spend the next 18 months on reserve, while I sat reserve for 1 month as a captain.

Just study the memory items and limitations for a few days before class. It is pretty easy.
If you are looking for things to study before class, see recruiters post above. There are lots of things to study.

Will systems class training focus more on 200 if starting out in 200 sim?
Which classes will get this?
Thanks
