Overall, I think the RTP program has been a success.
This 100%. All have been great students but most(not all) struggle at least a little bit stick and rudder wise and also a little bit with the speed at which things happen in the terminal area during departure and more so arrival. Putting everything together like radio work/configuration/situational awareness has been a little slow to develop.
Again, all have been great students. I expect after a few hundred hours 99.9% of them will be great additions to whatever airline they are at.
