It's not AQP, but the training department is run well and isn't an area where costs are cut. The personnel are for the most part excellent, and you get 5 FTDs plus 9 full sim sessions before your checkride. More than enough. If you count the checkride and post-checkride LOFT event, you're getting 11 sims before heading to IOE. And I would consider the training to be "laid back" and at a pretty gentlemanly pace. I would imagine the first-time pass rate is well over 90%
Not saying it's easy, just that it's set up for you to be successful.
