Is the program perfect? Nope. Will you find differences between instructors, probably. But most instructors on the fleet are very good. Being associated with the program since the Southern/Boeing days, I can tell you the program is always evolving for the better. There is a great group of guys that dedicate time to fix inconsistencies and improve the program. A few years ago when we saw a wave on limited experience new hires there was minimal issues getting through the program. Now we get the guys coming over from other fleets with their "techniques and habits" and all of a sudden there are plenty of issues. Rubber band for INT switch, turning off AT switches at end of flight, Not knowing how to fly a VNAV approach, are a few of the issues and on top of that a crappy attitude.
