How hard is the 737 to learn coming from a regional aircraft?
Also what are the pros and cons of being based out west compared to the East coast? I’ve experienced EWR and it was pretty cool but the crash pad/city was not so great. I remember pre pandemic getting to SFO was like getting to the gates of heaven only to have a past full of sin and gin. Heck EWR was pretty much the same too.

The screening process does a pretty good job of ensuring that new-hires are trainable and the training program is designed to give you the help you need to succeed.
-Very much so.
-Yes, AQP.
-I think the hardest course, that a new-hire can get, is the 756 and that only because there are so many variants to learn; 757-200, 757-300, 767-300, and 767-400. Several regional-only pilots in my class took 756, though, and none had any trouble.
-Just be professional. Study. Enjoy the experience.

So here's the most important question (
) what's the dress code these days? Still a suit on day one and business casual for the rest of training? I've been out of 121 for 10 years, and it's been 20 years since my last "first day". Or will that all come in a yet to be received email?Thanks!
