At TK you get a full print-out of your whole training schedule, with what instructor (with the same instructor for each week of training), in what room of the building, at what time. Organized and professional.
At the CAL sim building, 20-some guys crowd around the top of the stairway waiting for some random instructor to walk down the hall and yell your name out. Then wander through the building opening random doors looking for a briefing room. What a joke.
It shouldn't be this way. The United training center was set up to run like a military organization, which means efficient, professional, and on time. I've never been to the CAL guppy school, but it sounds like they should try a little organization at least.
