I am a post-merger hire, so I don't have a LUAL/LCAL dog in this fight, but I have now been to training in both places (IAH 737 and TK 76T) and completely disagree with this assessment. I keep hearing it, though.
My 737 training in IAH was much more organized and the sims were significantly ahead of what they had at TK.
I was really looking forward to 76T training because I had heard so much about how wonderful TK was. "You'll finally see how a professional training system is run" was a fairly common quote.
I was disappointed. But hey, I passed and I felt confident to fly the line, which is the whole point, so it worked.
