Wool or wool blend is the only way to go

Does anyone know how often classes are starting, and how many per class? Is it pretty easy to get an earlier class date than offered?

Every Monday. Classes seem to be 17-20 people. I was called a few times for earlier classes.

I start training soon, any tips other than come to day 1 knowing flows/limitations/memory items?
How hard is the A320 to learn?

The A320 flow guide is implanted in the Covid19 vaccine, a microchip. So once you get the vaccine you will be flushed with antibodies and the knowledge of a 320 CA of 20 years.

Just know your flows well before coming. Limitations, memory items, and proficiency items are the next things of importance but not as necessary for per say day 1. By the beginning of week 2 you will need to have a good idea of doing a difsripp; know your briefings; and know when to call for what checklist and how to correctly do the flow and the triggers that start each one. End of week two you will have a gate that you will need to show that you can Satisfactory fly a flight from point a to point b doing all flows and checklist correctly. They might give a little if you mess up a thing or two but at this point you should have it down good.

But overall I thought the training was pretty easy and organized. The initial training has a pass rate of over 95 % so don’t believe anyone saying it’s so hard and you only get 5 sims. If someone says that it’s because they don’t know or didn’t study.

My background I come from a Saab 340 so you don’t have to fly jets to learn this. Just have to put in the effort.
