I'll say my word and walk out, I didn't think the training department was bad, but there was a lot of useless Info you are expected to know that other airlines don't care about, when I took the systems test about 20/100 were performance figures and math and weight and balance that I've since learned other companies don't even ask or teach. The amount of limitations that were needed to be known were almost triple to my now company. But none the less, it's a lot of gee whiz info that it's nice for small talk than for actual practical purposes. The instructors were overall good but he biggest eye opener was the standards for the check ride. Especially for the older guys that have done recurrent many times, and they'll know you'll get a certain person who grills you for 2-3 hours or someone who talks about Motorcycles for an hour and calls it good. There isn't a lot of middle ground. It's either super tough or just smile and nod. Either way, it comes down to you, you can hit up the leg lounge everyday after class until bed or you can hit the books and study groups and pass. The biggest thing is your attitude.
