Then...CV-600 school on the Dowty Rotol prop (RR Dart engine) 2 days total time on the prop alone. And an exam.

Flash forward quite a few and the Fokker school on the same prop. About 2 hours. Including: "When the red light illuminates, push the red button." No exam.

B777 Power Plant School at a prestigious Airline. Yep boys, them are big engines out there. Trents. Work good good, last a long time. Well, that's enough on that - let's talk about the autopilot.

This is no exaggeration.
