Having only gone through 2 companys (Eagle and RAH--both CHQ and RW) training programs, I would say that they all were about the same. Now a mainline carrier might require a CAT III landing or some additional manuver like that but the sim training is still judged to the same +5-0 knots, +-100 feet on altitude or any other PTS standards. Also since every airline is run by bean counters, they arent going to allow for extra training that may produce more real world scenarios than the same old basic training profiles we have all been doing for years. To bad no one mentioned in that article that the airline will gladly only meet the minimums and refuse to pay the extra money to bring the training or any other aspect of the company up above the minimum.
