Get a different job. Don't be a scab. That's what is good for your family

Gentlemen, my personal opinion has sabotaged this thread and I regret it happened. Please accept my apology and let this thread resume it's intended purpose.
Thank you

Go to the app store and type in "737". Look for the systems package that has 4 apps in it (bleed, fuel, elec, hyd). $24.99? If memory serves. Between that and the Ethos program SWA provides you (includes videos and a cockpit companion'ish layout). You will be set for your type oral. I did it and it was money well spent. I also bought the cockpit companion...it was overkill. A great source of info...but way in the weeds for the oral. I'm 1/2 way through sims...so hit me up with questions.

Oh...and bring a flashlight to training. You need it for your checkride.

Perhaps if I were not married with a family, I might feel differently. Put yourself in his shoes and be honest, what would you do?

Are you for real? Don't ever cross. Ever.

Thanks for the info Flyn. I did buy the expensive one and will probably get the other one as well. I know its overkill but this is the end dream for me. Gotta make it count. Ill definitely hit you up for Qs. Thanks
