It is absolutely bare bones minimum, just barely enough to satisfy the FAA and not a penny more.
We had people struggling to get through when the mins were 4000 hours and 500 PIC. And Pink Slips have sharply increased since we dropped our mins.
However, that being said, mark yourself a scab and apparently you'll get ALL the time in the world to get through training.
I find this interesting. I too have had my fair share of training events in various places and I honestly found this training to be a piece of cake. Definitey not my hardest program and definitely not what I would consider the worst one out there.
