The training isn't tough it's stupid and done on the cheap. The 767 and 777 are easy planes to learn and fly. Thier is no reason to treat new hires the way they do. No jumpseating till after the company PC at least 60 days after you start is ridiculous. Spending three weeks on Indoc and two days on systems is horrible time management . Going cheap on the sim time, and than only giving guys a few days at home after sim before IOE is a recipe for high turnover. A lot of better ACMI airlines are having a hard time filling classes, the guys in TUL are going to have to change the way they think about training or get out of the airline business. I have to disagree with you about the check airman/Sim instructors/IOE CAs as far as I could tell every single one of them enjoy teaching. They were the one bright spot in my time at Omni.
