PV must be one of the very junior instructors at IAH that started each brief with "it is not a guppy anymore, it is a real airplane".
The vast majority of lCAL pilots I fly with complain about flying a guppy as much as I do. They also say IAH training sucks. Their exact comment is "that is the way it has always been."
Time to change it. Unfortunately that will involve a lot of turf wars between the training center.
PS. UAL 727 FE training WAS the worst training I ever received prior to this year. It got bumped down to second.
