New hire study methods?
Hi guys,
New hire here. I've got class coming up pretty quick and have some decent time off between skiing and watching the kids. Do you guys suggest getting any particular 737 study guides or using any of the 73 apps out there to study before getting to class?
Yes, I'm aware they'll give me every resource I need when I start but I'd like to get ahead of the game with systems if possible.
I'm excited to get started and appreciate any legitimate advice!

I couldn't sit back and wait for them to "tell me what I need to know". Here is what I know. Systems training is really brief. I went through along time ago and it was 3 days. The oral was start at the top left of the overhead and tell me what this switch does. SW is not really into in-depth system knowledge. There is a 1600 page manual for everything on the ipad. (yes, really) The search feature doesn't work. If you can find a little flip book called "lights and switches" guide that is really the level of knowledge that is expected. The training is not hard, but SW does things differently, just to be different. Never ask "why". No one knows. It is is just "the way we do it."
