Not a Spirit pilot, but I have done lots of airline training ranging from old school “build the airplane” weed out regional days, to gentle hand holding major airline training.

The whole “group study” being required for success is a myth. Some people need to be spoon fed by their peers, but it sure isn’t necessary if you have good study habits and you practice flows with your sim partner. Personally, I find group study a tremendous waste of time and don’t ever do it (group beers/dinners are another matter!)

Just to emphasize though, practicing flows/call outs/checklists with your sim partner is incredibly important.

this right here - well said. We all learn differently - don’t feel obligated to attend if it’s not your learning style!!! Also one step prep by the spirit pilot was a huge learning asset.

I’m looking to start shortly with Spirit (pending). Does 1stepprep from the spirit pilot have a link? I looked on their page and considering buying the yearly sub so I can start studying.

True.... But the 320 app is available before you go to training. I used it to learn the limitations and flows before I went to class

this. Great for teaching flows and testing yourself on systems knowledge.

Again, Ethos. Please don't learn a system before you go. Just say THR RED ALT and on day one you'll learn what that means. Ethos has full systems and buttons when the time comes. I too bought the 320 cockpit app and regret doing so because of Ethos.
