Recurrent training every year, how hard is it compared to initial?
-
#1 For those already flying: is the annual recurrent training as intense as initial? Same exams? I'm asking so I know what the long-term reality is before I sign.

#2 Two or three days a year at Lufthansa: refresher on SEP, fire, first aid, doors on the trainer, a written test, and the practical drills. Less volume than initial, same pass marks. Nobody with a normal amount of preparation fails it, but it's not a formality, people who wing it get a resit.

#3 British Airways is similar. The habit that makes it easy: keep your manual notes from initial and reread them the week before. The drills come back fast because you say the commands in your sleep by year two.
