Training isn't easy. But you're given all the tools you need to succeed. You're given plenty of procedures training, time in the Sim is ample to be ready for your checking events. If you feel like you're not ready, talk to your instructor and if they see you struggle they may give you an extra session or two, but don't expect it to just be given to you if you don't need it. They generally won't let you move on from SIPs if they think you're not ready for the sim.

If you have your limitations and memory items memorized before you arrive to DAY you'll be doing very well. Make sure to memorize your flows and profiles before you hit the procedures trainer. They will hold your hand a little here and there but if you don't study you will wash out. (training is AQP which definitely helps in my opinion ).

All of us are on your side and everyone wants you to succeed. You will get help if you ask for it, but we can't study for you.

What he says is true, but....

It’s also not train to mastery. The program has room (ie time) for one or two do-overs but if you persistently need extra help you will wash out.

I start on the 26th. Haven’t received any info about things to know in advance. Do you know how far in advance I should expect that stuff?

You should have the packet by now. Send an email over. You’re supposed to get it two weeks before class. That’s how it used to be at least

I honestly don't remember. I think some stuff is sent to your email like a week or two in advance. You can always reach out to your contact and ask for a copy in advance. It's not uncommon.

When did you submit your HR interview?

The week of 3/22

My technical isn’t until next week, can anyone chime in on to when they send the email with study material/documents to send over to them. Appreciate it!

I'm guessing things are still backed up? I got my class date and ATP-CTP instructions, did the drug test, and have been waiting to hear about getting fingerprinting done and it's been radio silence for 2 weeks now. Class is 5/24, ATP-CTP 5/10.

How long into INDOC do you get KCM badge and access to set up and list for flights in travel planner?
Also- when are you allowed to start using the jump seat?
