It’s also not a mistake that they are all contoured a little bit differently, but that’s a lesson for day two.

Or again, you read before you push or pull

Because reading is still, fundamental

Smoke filled cockpit, obscured vision from wearing the O2 masks during a fume event or while the other pilot is on a lav break, or more common/likely: taking off 10’s out of FLL into the blinding rising sun and getting the left turn but the guy your flying with grabs the speed knob and whips that to the left instead...

I’m not saying you shouldn’t verify the knob by reading its label, rather there’s an alternative if you are having difficulty and a logic to help build muscle memory.

What he said. I'm personally trying to make a point to commit the knob position and tactile surface to muscle memory. I verify before I spin it of course but I like to know that I can find those knobs without seeing them. It's a skill that could save an airplane in a vision-less environment.

Paid for housing?
 
Does Spirit cover all housing/hotels for the duration of initial training?

Yes, except when you have home based training.

Thanks for changing the subject. It was about to become a huge battle royale of what-ifs.

You will usually get it around Wednesday the week before. You can send your flight requests to the email listed in new hire packet if you haven’t already.

I am studying for my class date (dec 9) and I heard they are working on new flows (yet again). How long does this process usually take?
