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.
Of course the pilots will complain about the 73, cramped cockpit and archaic overhead and systems. But it makes money and that's what counts, cant argue with that. That's what we are in business for.
There are valid complaints mostly about the logistical details (mostly the food), but the actual training I got has always been good.
