Ignore the systems DVD as you'll have days set aside to do that in FLL. STUDY FLOWS. STUDY FLOWS. STUDY FLOWS.

Very likely it will be S.F. that will be calling. Mine was to get to know me. We talked about my commute that day, my family, and my flying career. It was very laid back and she just wants to get to know you.

Just relax and enjoy the phone interview. Is it enjoyable? Probably not, but if you answer the phone expecting to enjoy it, that will come through to the interviewer.

It's really a "get to know you" phone call. And to reaffirm that you meet the minimums.

Any of you Spirit guys use this A320 book?

Airbus A320: An Advanced Systems Guide

With the tail number and pictures it appears to be a Spirit guy/gal who made it. Looks pretty good

It is an ORD CA that took the time to make and sell it. I flew with him and he is constantly adding stuff to it.

I think it's a good book. He's is a smart guy and as you said updating/adding to it all the time. For a new hire I'd use it as supplement. Only because it's not from Spirit. All of our questions from the oral guide and other places are based from our CBT. Yes, it's older and needs to be updated to reflect our current fleet but it is coming.

I'm probably also bias because I'm in the training dept but wanted to put it out there. I think it's a great idea to have as many resources as possible. Just keep in mind that guide might not be Spirit specific. Studying the systems is really on the student here. Someone commented in this thread or the other that you don't need to study systems until you're here. That's BS. That should be the 2nd or 3rd time you go through them.

2nd or 3rd time would be ideal, but isn't necessary. It all goes on how hard you want to study while you're in training.

Sounds like you will be one of our wonderful captain upgrade challenges. Please, do the bare minimum. The next guy up will be happy to get your slot.

Better yet, good luck on your first PC.
