If you did 73 back before furlough 1or 2 it is a type ride course not a right seat only course. No spoon feeding, others words who experienced it, not mine. They give you the script of every flight ahead of time. They do not vary from it. Briefs are not hard at all .

If you are a Regional background, probably split view. The hotel, per diem, and full paycheck tends to jump out at you though. RJ folks in general smoke the program.

If you are military you will laugh at the amount of butthurt. Great comment in thread it is more Navy like than Air Force. To extend that not like Navy flight
school, more like FRS specific airplane training with more technique included. Except no surprises from the script.

Have posted already what needed improvement. They taught me pretty well to fly the plane.

Look forward to all the improvements our new pilot leadership will bring.

Care more that the company leadership figures out how to have higher margins so we all make money and never get furloughed.
Excellent post!
