The training profile is not hard. They give you all of the resources that you need to succeed. Study, memorize your memory items and limitations, backseat SIMs and have a good attitude and you will do just fine.
agreed, I had to do the full sim program coming back from furlough as the 145 was a new aircraft. i flew about 30 hours while i was gone all in light singles. I passed easily. I think dropping the mins might get some fresh blood in here who don't want to f up their first job. Only benefit of low mins. The guys who washed out of my initial class were the higher time guys fwiw.
