Like someone mentioned just do what the instructors in BI tell you and don’t get too far ahead of yourself. I did the cbts ass on as soon as they were available which gave me more flexibility later on. I also recommend going to the paper tiger and doing call outs and flows before each lesson. My sim partner and I did this all the way to the checkride even if we knew them down cold, it’s just great prep for the lesson and gives you more time to work on stuff in the sim. I signed up for Grubhub just to change food options.

Simple; study the flows, maneuvers, and callouts… and when you have those cold memorized then start understanding what happens during the flows when you press a button or turn a switch… you’ll understand the systems a bit better. Also start practice on the FMC online trainers if your fleet has it once you grasp the flows, maneuvers, and callouts. you’ll be way ahead of the pack if you do these items.

Actually I'd call this one of the most important tips on here, in addition to spending plenty of time in the paper tigers with your sim partner. The briefing PowerPoints are essential to read thoroughly before each session.

I definitely don't want to go back to the adversarial days of sim training, but there is a balance.

You're currently at TK? That's really amazing to hear and BS quite honestly. We have a really good training dept IMO and so much information to look at. You know EXACTLY what you're getting into every period. It really is impressive and quite different than the days I remember of "look over x,y, and z for tomorrow" and that was about it.

yup , at TK and those were just an example. It happens with other things as well which is why I always go over what’s gonna happen on the next event what they should be reviewing before hand. If I can tell that they at least opened the book or looked at the slides then I will bend over backwards to get the info across to them. Show up completely unprepared and it’s a waste of our time together.
