They just shrug and pass on an unsat. Single engine day comes and again straight into approaches and no work on aircraft control. Most of the ground and sim instructors admit there are shortcomings with the training but nothing changes. This is very frustrating to all of us.
Though you may have valid points, you are not in a position to change Eagle's training program at this time. The first airline training Syllabus is usually the most difficult; I know it was for me. Then again, if you make it through this one, the rest should be easier.
I know that in other countries around the world, some airlines have a Jet Transition (or something similar) course for people that are in your situation. Unfortunately for you, this is not the case at Eagle. If you are struggling now, your best shot is to go see the head of training or his/her equivalent and own up to any deficiencies and ask for help. Even though you may be right regarding certain weak spots of the program, if you mention them at Eagle, you will make your situation worse.
