Some motivational insight

For you guys struggling with the BE-76 manuals, thinking "do we really have to learn ALL this stuff?". Here's your homework once you get to a 737-800...

Sweeeet

Is that all???? Looks like fun! :P

Seriously, I'll bet that's a lotta time reading....and studying....and re-reading....and re-studying. Doesn't deter me though!

So how far are you through the reading to this point? Lots of repetition or all new stuff in each? Anything interesting you've found out?

It's a lot of reading I can vouch for that, but it's interesting reading too which helps. There's a company CBT program that really helps you get into it, but the manual is still required to learn it properly. The flight deck is really cool though, lots of big pretty monitors :-) Climbing into the sim in two weeks, hoping for line training around end of april.

Did my profficiency check in a swedish duchess 3 weeks ago too, that was fun! Taxiing through the snow, neat...

So Mag,

Does this mean that MickAir hired a Swede?

Don't they have King tapes/dvds for this?

Stare at Martha for an entire 738 course, are you kidding me? I'd kill myself... she spends 15 minutes explaining what a hold short line is. :-D
