Does your airlines supply the pilots with PRM

[Melfly]

My airline has decided for the last two years that none of the new hires need access to airplane manuals. The question of what they are suppose to study from before there check rides keeps coming up.

I would think my airlines (and FAA) would want well trained knowledgable pilots who understands systems of the airplane.

Is this the new norm at regionals?

That's a new one to me. We are given a POH, FOM, and plenty of study materials. Just not enough time to study from the fire hose of knowledge.

Sounds pretty clear that you are to get a physical copy of the manual; unless you'll be turning wrenches...
