Anyone have some useful insight for training. I go in on Monday and I just feel like I should be doing more than just flows and immediate action stuff right now. The tests were useful I guess but I feel like thats only the tip of the iceberg.

Get group studies with your new hires buds. If there's a upgrade class with you buy the upgrades a 12 pack of beer and then you'll make good friends and have guys that will help you a ton. Drink Beer's study and have a good goodtime studying hard. Work as a group and it's amazing how well you'll do.
You've hit the regional jackpot. Enjoy!

I just finished group school and in my opinion you have plenty of time to study everything given to you one step at a time when you get there. I made 100's on every test except systems. If i was you that where you need to get started with and hit it hard because that test is truly difficult comparing to the others.

Are you talking about the 3 tests given to you prior to training? I was under the impression that the tests in ground are similar to the ones prior to school. I'm planning on coming in with Limitations down cold and just some glances at flows. Do you think that's a good plan of attack?

Yes and don't get caught up in the flow and how people talk crap about it! An upgrade that low means PIC time quickly plus the great benefits offered by PDT. Health, Vision, Travel Priority etc. so if you want to go to Delta or United then it's your choice after getting the PIC time. Also remember it will start getting VERY VERY hard to get hired at American outside the flow with all 3 Wo'ed airlines. sending pilots each month. You'll have all bases covered. Get in NOW if you can!!!
