As a guy who left awac during Sim the biggest problem there is the gaps in training... I liked it a lot but by the time I could have taken the check rode my oral knowledge was shot, but I could fly the plane, there were 4 months between systems and the sim, I opted out of the check ride and quit the next day. Only 3/8 guys in my class are flying the line now. Awac does a good job in training, but their time line is ****ed up. You never know when you are going to sim and usually you have 1-2 days notice
