Narrative:
I have been thrown to the wolves by a large corporation trying to save costs. I have never been so unprepared for flight duty in my 25 years with the airline. Last night during flight planning I read the bulletins and noticed the new revision activating the new QRH handbook. This was my first look and actually touching this new QRH. The training I received through the [online] learning network was inadequate and did not prepare me for the size and scope of change. I delayed the flight 30 plus minutes while I reviewed this new checklist. I hit some of the highlights such as (hot start-no start-hung start); (compressor stall after takeoff); (duel engine flame out); (emergency decent); (drift down). It became very apparent to me that I am not prepared to safely operate commercial jet aircraft for this company. I am the one who is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the flight and the well being of my passengers and crew members. I need additional training with an instructor to become familiar and comfortable with this new checklist. Therefore I am removing myself from flight duty until I receive the training I need.
