But as an instructor myself, I was not impressed with the sim experience. I have heard the same issues in ATL and CVG locations.
And I had the opposite experience. Only had one bad instructor, and that was in ground. All my CPT / SIM guys were good.
For OP, come in ready to work, and do what’s put in front of you. Indoc and Systems are straightforward if you complete the homework assigned and maybe read ahead if you have the time for the next days systems so things are at least familiar. Arrive to CPT with everything memorized down cold...simple as that. CPT is a dumb place to wash out. Sims are stressful to a point, but keep a good attitude and your instructors really will go out of their way to help you get whatever is missing to “click.” Obviously your mileage may vary, but you get out of the process what you put into it right? This was my first 121 Indoc and 2nd jet type, had no issues.
