If they can't cut it in the sim they don't belong on the line) They don't ask the trainees at the end if they have any input on improving the training. And don't get me started on Bob's useless drabble about VFR flying and just grazing over the important 135 regs. Don't get me wrong AMF produces good 135 pilots but the training isn't professional in my opinion. It needs major improvement and specifically in the first week of indoc with Bob.
Nobody's paying me to say this; I do it on my own time . . . but I've seen a lot of pilots start the serious part of long flying careers at Ameriflight, and I've seen others bilge out of training while spouting excuses about why it wasn't their fault.
Ameriflight is certainly not perfect, but they spend a huge amount of time, effort, and money to try to get their trainees off to a good start. If you have ideas for improvement and made it out onto the line, make some specific suggestions to the upper-echelon folks at BUR Training. They actually ARE interested in productive input.
