If you show up as prepared as you can be, and be up front and honest with the instructors you will be fine.
As for the instructors... you're going to find that anywhere. But I have yet to experience an instructor who wasn't professional and fair.
Again, just my opinion based on my experience and talking to new FOs.
Not my experience!! It seems to me that anyone can become an instructor at awac! Some CPT instructors will pass a dumb rock off to sim! Some people needed to be spoonfed like a baby, and like a baby, they threw the food back at you! I have seen people who don't know where all the buttons are at sim 4!!!! Now tell me, how can someone like that passed CPT and onto full motion sim to begin with!?
What happens when you come in prepared and your partner isn't? You get dragged/slowed down and boxes are not checked and result is extra sim
