I'm not sure about the changes with AQP since I was well before that, but in my experience Rah training has always been bad. All the ground instructors at Flight Safety were not even typed so they had no real understanding of how everything worked. It was pretty much self study except you had to sit in the classroom all day also. I passed training along with most of my class (we did have a few failures) but I felt unprepared given the horrible training. Now this was in the days where the new hires were much more competent than many of them now are. The recurrent ground instructors were 172 drivers who were hoping for a new hire spot. So recurrent was generally useless also. I would advise all current new hires to really put the time in with the new self study and don't take it lightly. The check airman will show up and grill you for details on the oral exam. The last thing you want is a 121 failure on record when you are wanting to go to mainline. Try to get your questions answered at the crash course or even ask current Rah pilots on these forums as a last resort.
