EXRAY - in regards to the comment about nil training, just checking. Complete BS...
I'm a TRI on the Airbus, and I know I speak for all my colleagues when I promise you we will "walk through fire" to give you the best possible training and all the help we possibly can to get you through!
It's a tough course, especially if you haven't flown the Airbus before but no big deal for a professional pilot. Most of the guys and gals I have had in the SIM and for Line Training lately, have been well up to speed and seem to perform very well.
Don't be too concerned about the training load if you are selected, but DO do your homework...
