Trying to help a newbie get the latest SKV review questions gouge that actually is up-to-date. 756 SKV questions on the computer don't really align with the older systems review questions. IE, the A320 systems review questions were basically the SKV. Anything to pass on, would be appreciated.

He needs some “characters” in his life. I’m sure someone there could help him out in exchange for some ice cold “soda pop”

Yes the A320 class gave you the MQF. Made the SV a non event. They don't do that for the 756! It is NOT an easy test! The fire hose will be in full effect!

Not sure what's up with the cloak and dagger post. But I think what he's saying is go to Characters Bar at the Doubletree and ask guys going through. Last I heard the Doubletree isn't the new hire training hotel, but maybe it is now.

Funny how post merger the A320 fleet (and the 747 fleet) were pure UA legacy and were remarkable for making sure everything was provided to make sure a pilot succeeds in training. I'm not saying that they breached ethics, but the programs were designed and run for training success. To fail those programs you have to be stupid or lazy.

Contrast that to the 787 where instructors have a clique called the "hateful 8" and wear that moniker like a badge of honor. Look above the doors in the 787 briefing rooms where they display their logo, it's a symbol of pettiness and impatience.

When the 756 was in Houston, all someone needed to do was ask for a copy of the Q's and A's for the oral, the week before. You could get them printed out until the "green gene" took effect. After that a USB key would suffice.

The fleet manager's philosophy was "we're not trying to keep the answers a secret, we want the students to know everything the instructors do. We want everyone to succeed." I know because I asked him when he took over the job.

So, maybe just ask one of the instructors. If he says no, ask him why they are kept secret..

All the system Q and A were handed out on day 1 of ground school in a notebook. They were considered a study guide.. That was before CBT's.

Sounds like a great thing to take down during my next CQ

That’s just flat wrong you obviously haven’t met one.....

Everyone of the hateful 8 is a great instructor. They are all friendly and far from hateful.

They got the name because they were the initial 8 LUAL 756 instructors that came into the fleet. It’s a joke and not meant to be taken seriously.

It’s an inside joke with the instructors don’t make it more than it is.

It stopped being an inside joke when they started tagging the workplace.

No one is allowed to be part of a squad anymore. This reeks of PC bs and life is less fun because of it. Homogeneous checklists and training... it's like they want us to be uniform and boring or somthing. If the 737 gets team 73 shirts, why not crazy 8s ,or whatever
