Its sink or swim with every ride being career jeopardy and very little training to be had with bored embedded career examiners looking to entertain themselves. In other words, very unforgiving. There is a saying apparently at the larger airlines: if you can make it at Eagle, you can make it anywhere.
Absolutely true. As I recall, things started going south when we got our new APD's. When I left, the sim was backlogged 3 weeks because of all the unsats and people were busting for some pretty trivial stuff. I'm glad I'm out of there.
