Honestly it’s such a mixed bag, and there’s always going to be some RNG based on who you get.
737: One fantastic, one “you will use my call sign”
777: Both awesome.
330: Fantastic on OE but one LCA on his first ever line check was a piece of work. “Over breakfast I compute the probable range of Gross Weight so I have an idea before I get to the airport…”
ER: One ok, one awesome.
A320: Not the worst, but c’mon man it’s captain NB transition training don’t lead with “I print my own templates with blank spaces for each flight down to ZFWCG but don’t worry I brought you a stack for you to use.”
Overall it’s cooperate and graduate but LCA are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you might get.
