I realize saying good stuff here is frowned upon, but I just finished CQ this morning, and it was flat-out the best training I've ever done at Delta. Great tips from our instructor, real-world oral evaluation, LOE was an actual possible event, and the best thing, almost everything can be signed off on day one. My maneuvers validation today consisted of an instrument takeoff. Done.
Overall, about as painless as it could have been.
