This past summer. Military via traditional FRS, rotary to FW transition, multiple type ratings done both as a civilian and on contract from military, and a training background from sim IP to FRS instructor/TMS evaluator and from curricula model manager to acquisition and development of an entire training center including sim purchase, upgrade, CBT, and establishment of passing standards. Not an expert but know a little bit and did stay at a Doubletree during training.

Things could be better in few places but in my opinion the substandard claim is unfounded. The oft repeated claim of trailers at Houston is bizarre. As is the disdain for the food choices. Maybe if vegan or halal is your thing but otherwise good to go. Think some ground school instructors could be improved. Schedule can be a challenge sleep wise. But there is free beer every Tuesday after your first Tuesday so maybe I am easily impressed.

Very doable.
