Thinking of an airline career and want to try it out?
The webmaster recommends the Airline Training and Orientation Program
"Ever fantasize about what it might be like to fly heavy iron for a major airline? Got a spare $475? Well then, have we got a treat for you! There's a little-known weekend program that offers pilots of any experience level the opportunity to go through a grueling 10-hour cram course on Boeing 737 systems and procedures, plus two hours in a 737 cockpit procedures trainer and two more hours flying a full-motion 737 simulator."Visit http://www.b737.com/index.htm for more info.
This site has photos of the course taken by an ATOP student and here is the blog of another ATOP student.
