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.
hmm, I have worked for 2 other 135 operators (no 121), and Amflight has by far the finest training program I have ever been through. There is no comparison.
"Bobs useless drabble" <--- are you serious? Bob has his own way of teaching that can seem odd at times, but that doesnt mean that what he teaches is useless. Think about what he has to do. In about 3 days he has to teach the entire Ops manual and go over all of part 135 and 91. Its obvious that this is just an introduction to the material, not an in depth analysis of each regulation! I think for the time frame given, he lays out the material exceptionally well. You couls spend months going over the finer points of the regs, but that is simply not realistic.
