SKV is primarily based on the various cockpit switches/lights and what each does/alerts crew.

The SKV questions are EXACTLY the questions that are in the CBT "Library" or whatever it's called. They have a practice exam and then it's broken down into each system. I just went through every system about 4 or 5 times before the SKV so I had seen every question on the exam several times.

Know the limits chapter pretty well, the immediate actions on the QRH (there aren't many) and try to get a feel for the flows. I can't BELIEVE how much the FO does of the cockpit setup. You'll do just fine!! Welcome aboard!!

Coffee......another sad co-worker story and fiasco brought to you by El Heffe. Suffice it to say, we've had a bunch of changes in coffee suppliers. Lots of rumors abound as to how it came about, but it was vile.

It came to be known as "Co-Worker" coffee. It looked like colored water, and didn't taste that good. I've given up on UAL coffee, and don't know the current state, but many pilots will walk miles for a Pete's or Starbucks before they will consume what we have on the planes.

I've also heard it said by many of our premium customers, the camel that broke the back of their loyalty, was the coffee.....

Like many things here, sad is an understatement. Tragic really. How do you screw up coffee? UAL will show you how. Not meant to discourage any of you new guys, but use this as a filter for your UAL training experience.....Just sayin...

Kind of like that scene in Forrest Gump when he was out running, and he stops, turns, and everybody is waiting for this life changing epiphany, and he says, "I'm pretty tired, I think I'll go home now."

Must be nothing more to say about the coffee nightmare.

You pretty much nailed it in your post #47 Dave. Decided to just go and refresh my cocktail instead.
