Eagle's training is definitely tough. Not just my opinion, as it's the only 121 carrier I've worked for, but also have heard it's far beyond other carriers training programs from people that came here from other airlines. However, it is also very fair. The instructors are great and they want you to not just pass, but to also leave the training center a well versed professional airline pilot. If you show that you are trying your very best, they will work with you. They will give you extra sims if you need them. Also, Eagle is to switch to AQP sometime in the near future. AQP is not designed to be "easier" per say, but it relieves some of the stress of being fired under the old "3 strike" mentality. Former Eagle pilots that moved on to other Major airlines, or flowed to AA have said that Eagle's training program made the Major's training programs seem like a piece of cake. Having said that, it's not impossibly hard, and you'll do fine if you do your homework and study.
