It was something bottled, I forget what it was.

Unless it's 2 minutes until class is up and your question will take 10 minutes to answer. That's when you become "that guy."

And do not be this guy. And if you have one of these in your ground school, that just means it’s coffee time when he starts babbling about how he did things at Brand X. No one cares. Do as the man says and cash the check.
No one is going to be in amazement about how smart you are, you’re just being a dick and you need validation. That’s why we have strip clubs, you can buy some validation.

Know limitations and memory items before showing up. Possibly work on flows prior but they don’t need to be nailed, just a basic understanding. Take what is going on at that moment, don’t get too far ahead or study stuff you already passed. Once you pass a “phase”, like systems and general knowledge stuff, quit worrying about it. Study Flows/ procedures and call outs hard (Brush up from prior studies if you had a chance). Always review whatever manuevers you will be doing the next day. Don’t sweat about it. Study MAYBE an hour a day because if you don’t know it, studying 6 hours in a row won’t make you know it by the next day and it will just stress you out. Just ask questions/have the instructors help you, this shows willingness to learn and effort. O and don’t suck.

Eh, in my class the instructors were all pretty cool helping people 1 on 1 that had a hard time.

Or you could drink excessively and bull chit your way through like I did. Wouldn’t recommend it but either way welcome to 121.

I get it, I really do, but I always wanted trainees to ask questions until they understood what I was asking them to do.
I'd rather have to explain something ten different ways if it means not failing someone on their line check. Acting like Billy badass and keeping your mouth shut because the internet told you to play it cool doesn't do new guys any good.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Always ask questions! If you don't feel comfortable during class catch them in the hall for the bathroom break. Don't let the ego get in the way of a simple explanation to a question.

You're gonna be so amped to sit up front in that thing for the first time in a jumpseat...for the first hour.
Then you're going to want to die.

757 JS Survival Guide:
Step 1: Mind your toes & fingers from the captain's chair sliding back
Step 2: Remove back cushion and position at a 45 degree angle
Step 3: Twist your body to the right and use your roller for a foot rest
Step 4: Once this gets uncomfy give up and ask if it's cool to roll around on the floor for awhile
Step 5: Now that you are disheveled & dirty from years of food particles ground into the carpet, go back to the cabin and bother the FAs until landing
