I think there should be a line where a second member signs off on your posts before you are allowed to press submit reply...

Spirit training was 6 days a week through ground school, pretty long days. After ground school you move to FTDs and then the simulator. There were more days off during this time and the hours were shorter.
Training was quite enjoyable and VERY different than anything id been through previously.

The training was very subtle. I studied quite a bit (something i was chided for), yet i continuously thought i wasn't learning. Yet, when it came time to demonstrate the information, WHAM! there it was. As it turns out, the training was excellent. They taught you exactly what you needed to pass the oral, type ride and make it through IOE, not how to build the Airbus.

For the military guys: i spent a lot of time memorizing ops limits/memory items (Boldface), rote memorization is not needed. The actions and steps are whats most important, not the exact words or punctuation.

Overall, I felt the training was top-notch and actually enjoyable.

Chided? I think that's a little harsh, don't you think? 👹

Hahahaha!!!!

I think your exact statement was "You're a fool if you're sitting in your room studying when you could be hanging out at the beach with me."

That's chiding.

trying to discern if very recently mentioned uniform changes are only quality changes or different look/cut?

(underlying question is if its better to wait buying stuff until outside vendors change their style?)
