I am NOT a fan of this program at all. I never went into that whole WMU kool-aid crap either. But right now I am in training at Atlantic Southeast Airlines to be sitting right seat in a CRJ-700 in Detroit, my local area. How did I go from 220 (After CFI/CFII/MEI) to just over 500? I went out ald flew a ton of real world flying in actual, icing, flights down the east coast from Detroit to the Florida Keys, etc.
So while I have a lot less hours than others, I do have real world flying experience which these kids coming out of WMU do not with the WMU bubble. Flying down to ACTUAL minimums is what builds experience, not this 1000' minimum AGL cloud layer that WMU imposes.
I bet just by reading this, your classmates can figure out who you are. There's always "that guy" in training. I feel bad for your sim partner.
The senior 700 guys aren't going to put up with this type of attitude from you and will send you home crying. For everyones sake I sincerely hope you are able to change your attitude prior to starting sims or the training department will be more than happy to send you packing. I also hope you fly with the white dragon out of IOE. You two are a match made in regional heaven.
