Thank you!

If you were trying to be helpful, you were not. If you meant to be a smart @@s, you did great.

The second half of the second week will be prepping for your SV & PV. Complete those two and then onto the simulator portion. I had 5 days off between my SV/PV and start of sims. You'll have 7 sims, then your MV, followed by the QLOE and then the wait for IOE.
I hope to start class soon, wondering what is SV/PV and IPT?

Procedures Validation (flows, callouts, etc).
IPT is the procedures training that happens along with ground. You spend four hours a day in a cockpit trainer where you work on your flows, learning the FMS, and other things.

The special training is safety/security along with the cabin trainer. It's an extra couple of days.
