Capt. Purple,
The 747 ground school and CPT is not that tough, you are prepared very well to pass the orals for the type rating.
Unless things have change in the last 11 months you will have a good time and get through it with flying colors if you apply yourself.
When I left there the CPT/Sim was a very relaxed training enviroment on the 747 side anyway.
Its a co-operate and graduate type training enviroment.
Sure you have probably seen this before.
Lots of patience and a good attitude is the best advice anyone can give.
Good Luck

Upgrade it is out of the question..... I had hope but come to find out it is close to impossible...the guys on the 74 have'nt flown much because Saudia is wet leasing airplanes like popcorn... if you have US visa you may stand a better chance to go overtime because they have 1 cargo 747 that goes to JFK.... Good luck
