I've never experienced the SKW training department but have flown two airplanes at Eagle and I don't think the training is hard. You are asked to be an adult and prepare, you are asked to be responsible and study. Like anywhere we have good and bad instructors, we have guys who are straight foreword and some might like to play games and try to task saturate you and overload you to the point that failure is a possible outcome. I have never experienced this or have heard of anyone about share it but I have read about it online with the online tuff guys. I do know of a handful of guys who did not make it at Eagle but made it at SKW, I know of a handful of Mesa pilots who did not make it at Eagle. I don't think is much about the training but more about your attitude and willingness to learn.
