Glad to see others getting into the 756. The training was what I expected, the problem I saw was the quality of the instructors. Some where good, many where bad. I felt most didn't really know the aircraft and had no interest in being pilots, just hiding in the sim building and taking a pay check. I HIGHLY recommend it.
Just finished training on the 756 after being out on mil leave for 5 years. I agree the program's a mess, but I was very impressed with the pi's I had. Learned something every sim session, including the checks. But I haven't been paying attention to much for the last 15 years.
