Which words are "my words?" This is an opportunity to brag, if there is any substance to your claims of having helped "many" get hired, as you just claimed and have claimed before. Is there a reason you are avoiding the question?

Welcome to Frontier!

As for a guide...sure you can look that site that over, but ONLY if you promise to not to commit any of it to memory! If you are simply trying to get an overview of the Airbus...that's fine. But like many have said, our training will teach you what you need to know.

Here are a few big tickets items to know: (Yes, sarcasm is intended)

Engines - Big
Luggage storage in cockpit - lots
Speed - fast enough (you get paid by the minute)
Weight - placarded
tires - 6 total
Pilots - 2 of us up there
FA's - Sometimes 3 or 4 and soon to come 5
Jumpseats in cockpit - 2 (good to know if you're a commuter)

I'm sure I'm missing a few items.

Good luck

This is a tough crowd I never said I wanted Airbus material to memorize word for word so I knew everything before training. I just asked for some good info on the Airbus, that's all. Nothing more. Try and chill out a little. And I didn't ask for anybody's opinion on what to study so I don't know why everybody is getting all bent out of shape over it.

I'm glad to see that Frontier has seemed to right the ship and figured out a way to survive and prosper as of late. It's a proud industry name from back in the 40's and the Monarch days.
Any type beyond the 320 family triggers a reopener. The 330/40/50/80s are similar to the 320variants but require different type ratings.

Honestly I agree with everyone on here. I just finished up with training this week and I was very impressed. I also wanted things to look over prior to training and was talked out of it by people on here. They will get you ready and just enjoy your time not studying. Study what they tell you to when you get there and you will do just fine. Congrats and welcome to Frontier.

Jetalc. As a rare poster, I generally lurk on here to keep updated with the industry. Your posts always irk me. As an F9 Captain, which it says you are, it appears you are the one who's classless. I couldn't help but say something. Looking back through your posts through the years, it seems like every conversation you're in is an argument or you're promoting Lori Clark's services, and bashing everyone else. I'm not sure if you have some type of "in" there with her, but it appears you do. I know nothing about her services, but I'm sure she's fantastic, list most of the prep companies.

It seems to me that Centerline tries to give informative posts throughout APC and tried to answer someone's question casually. I used them a few years ago and was hired at two legacy airlines. My college roommate worked with them and is at jetBlue. Many pilots I work with now used them for prep and were nothing but pleased. I can tell you one thing, I received nothing but First Class service from them. They always answered the phone, were sending out fresh gouges, fixed my resume, looked over my apps, and everything in between. Also, they are extremely good guys and I truly enjoyed getting to know the two consultants I worked with. I have no idea how many clients they prep, but it seemed to me they were quite large and busy. Maybe they fooled me, but just my personal experience was that I felt they truly cared about my success. They also called me the night before both my interviews to check up. I volunteered at OBAP in DC this year and it was nice catching up with one of the guys who prepped me. Bash all you want Jetalc, but I personally won't recommend anyone else. But what do I know? I'm a lowly legacy FO lurking :/
