I've got friends at all those airlines and I haven't heard them say "schoolhouse" in reference to their training centers. Maybe they're just embarrassed to say "schoolhouse".
Use the search function on this forum and see how many times that word comes up on other threads, in other subforums belonging to other airlines.
I don't know you, but I want you to honestly dig deep and ask yourself if your energy is best spent pointing out how we are different or how we are alike, and then ask yourself which one better serves you, your peers, and your employer.
Have a good evening. Back to my books because I have some training at the training center coming up.
I was at L-CAL and I called the 737 a lot of things, usually worse than guppy. Just as I don't pretend to know every L-UAL guy, I try to avoid using absolutes or relying on rumors on how "they" are.
