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.

Read on here going to spirit would be a bad idea, I’ve also read it wouldn’t be a bad idea if I study hard. Going to Spirit at 1500 sounds appealing but I would also like to avoid a 121 failure on my record. I don’t have my ATP yet. But I am familiar with flying a jet and the automation. Any help would be appreciated.

From reading on here memorize the limitations, memory items, & flows in advance, use A320guide.com and 1step.com, trust the A320 system, etc...Is there a degree of on the job training after the Spirit 2 month course since that seems to be a bit shorter than the other courses? Also, I'm leaving the military so while I've not been flying a desk I'm going to be new to the world of the airlines so would there be any other general knowledge and/or technical areas I should study in advance?
