Coming to Spirit with the Type Already
Hi everyone! I’m really hoping to get on with you guys soon. I am already typed on the Airbus. How does training differ, if at all, for people coming in with the type?
Obviously I’m going to need to learn your flows and ways of doing things. I just didn’t know if you had to do an entire Type-ride again or if it’s just a PC.
Thank you!

This is correct. It’s considered a PC but it’s identical to the type ride. You’ll be a huge help to your sim partner since you already know he airplane though.

Your sim partner is going to put you on their Christmas/Hanukkah/other winter holiday card list. Hopefully you're on line soon.

Check out FAR 121.424. Most (all?) initial programs are templated to provide instruction required for the type ride, just consider your type as a head start.

I was typed, the overall training footprint doesn’t differ that much.
You will have to do the oral, and contrary to what I was told (unofficially) it’s not a “non-jeopardy” event.
You will do the same number of sims and paper tiger events, my sim partner benefited from having a bit of extra time each session.
The PC was quick and dirty, as you don’t need to do things like steep turns, but you will still be seat support for your partners type ride. Overall the training is already so compressed that I wouldn’t say being typed will give you many short cuts, just a bit more sleep at night.
