I moved onto another airline but I was part of the training department as late as last November and I don't know of any active instructors that post on here...or at least their aliases. My info is based on past experiences.

You will get solid instruction and help if you need it. AWA (Used to be AWAC) has a reputation for being "tough" but its more like they are more detailed than other airlines...that has changed over the last year. It hasn't gotten "easier" just refocused on what are the basics of what a new hire needs to learn to become qualified as a first officer. Also there is a bigger focus on operational application of your knowledge which we all think aids in learning the policies and systems faster.

The footprint is most like all the other airlines. They are not AQP for their initial training so you will have more of a traditional checkride on one day instead of an MV/LOE.

Two weeks indoc/two weeks systems (All in ATW) with written tests in each class you must pass but if you fail they will help you...just don't get too many chances.

At sim (in CLT or CVG) its the same...show a strong positive attitude and you will pass. Have a hiccup or two and they will give you extra sessions. Blame everyone for your failures and don't expect to stick around long.

The airline also has the EFB, which you will get issued in the first few days of class. The entire company is staffed with great people...the Chief Pilot came up through the training department and is as good and as accessible as they come...enjoy your time there.
