I will say this though, they do have a reputation for ruining peoples careers, their is a checkman nick named pink slip pete , and that's exactly what they have him their for to issue pink slips, he will find a way to bust you on check ride, I wont recommend anyone going there who has aspirations of going to a legacy, this guy is an old fart would never make it to a major or legacy, and he will stop who ever is trying to get to one
The only check airman I remember named Pete was not one of their hatchet men. He is a super sharp guy who happens to find every error that is made. When I knew he was taking the plane i would go over every page in the log book to make sure everything was perfect, but he would still find errors people had made. Problem is he is very high strung in the plane and makes everyone very nervous. When you're new and reaching for an altitude change, as your hand moves up there by the heading he gets nervous that you are going to move the heading and he starts telling you "Altitude, Altitude, not heading, not heading". Can make you rather nervous.
They do have their hatchet guy, at least one. They are very skilled at flunking people they want to flunk. Before the checkride of death they will do things to make you nervous, they want you to know they are after you. They will swap out your FO and put in a St Louis guy who is pretty bad. They want you to feel alone and nervous. It doesn't matter to them if you make a mistake or not because they can just give you another checkride in a day or 2.
They are equal opportunity all the way. When a check airman ticks them off by doing something stupid like refusing to fly what he believes to be an unsafe plane, they will go after him just as much.
Lots of guys have posted about them, why do people keep asking these same questions? The only reason to go there would be if you absolutely not get hired at another airline and your driving record is so bad that you can't get hired at Uber or Dominos.
