You’ll spend your first week with someone brought in from an Aviation college trying to teach you about something he/she knows nothing about because they’ve never worked outside of a little instruction in piston airplanes. It’s a blur of slides as fast as they can go and no answers given to questions. Next is a week of half class/half procedures trainer. Could be a line pilot, or a retired person. Results will vary on this phase. Prepare to learn flows that don’t flow, and pressure to mount for the oral. No one has taught you the stuff on the oral yet. Then systems integration starts. Instruction starts here. It’s supposed to teach systems, but in reality you’re still learning these jacked up flows, calls and trying to shoot approaches in a touchscreen trainer. Now the Oral. If you pass that, SIMS. You get a whopping 4 sims in a plane that really doesn’t fly like anything you’ve ever flown. Next is the checkride. Then a LOFT. All together it’s 6 weeks. Don’t expect to go home during. Don’t expect anyone to care. Even the examiners and instructors say it’s 10 pounds of crap stuffed into a 5 pound bucket. IOE is actually pretty good. Those folks try to piece together the mess from training for you. Then once on line, all these Captain’s have “their” own way of doing everything, so forget what you may or may not have learned
