DAY SIX

Not so bad today, normal morning wake-up routine for myself. We started the class at 1230 and listened to an hour keynote about the union which was REALLY quick. Then took our test which I ELECTED not to study for b/c I was tired the previous night, well low and behold I passed with a %98. My take on this is that if you can study easily and remember things easily, then paying attention in class with most likely be the only thing you need to do. What I'm not saying is to go back to hotel and party and no study but if you feel confident about the daily material there is no reason to have so much pressure to study in my opinion. Throughout our longer day we broke for "dinner" not lunch around 6ish. We then continued back to the classroom going over material such has International rules, and a huge issue that was stressed WEIGHT & BALANCE. Basically this is something that if not done properly then point blank the plane will probably crash, thats how I received it, but hey SAFETY is first then CUSTOMER SERVICE is second. Around 930 we left for the hanger which when we arrived was fun, but then sitting on the plane for over 2hours or something with just recirculated HOT air was not so much fun. Not too much happened today but were all eating right now, we just got back from the hangar about an hour or so ago, more to come tomorrow.

Congrats on your 98 - but don't get overly confident.

I would agree however that paying attention in class is going to get you through for the most part since ALL tested material has to be covered that way. (FAA ruling.) Our training is not for FA's but is still mandated by FAA or Homeland Security or US Customs and all of those courses are handled the same way.

BTW the hotdog is in the bun....check with your front desk today before noon if possible......

I disagree with you that you don't need to study if you can retain what you heard in class. First you're talking about zoning out in class so you may miss things, also there was stuff on our test that was not reviewed in class .. reply "we told you it would be over section 3...." and that covers whether or not it was reviewed in class. I recommend going over the test questions in back of study guide for each section if you can answer the test questions it can be a guide for prepared for the actual test.

Good luck!
