Well, did the applicant turn around and spit at his sim instructor in the face first or something?

The XJ way is far different. In my opinion, too easy. No digging in orals (just to teach something new), only basic failures in PC's. You need to learn something in a training event.

How many Mesaba orals have you been through to compare? I've been through many Mesaba training events and 1 too many Pinnacle training events. No comparison. Mesaba was fair and effective. Pinnacle was a ******* show. I learned more in the XJ training events than I ever did at 9E.

Back seat driving is easy, but stating the truth is a whole new ball game.

Those who "fear" the guy you call "pink slip" is the guy I would do an oral, PC, or type ride with any day of the week. He's a straight shooter. You either know your stuff, or you don't. The XJ way is far different. In my opinion, too easy. No digging in orals (just to teach something new), only basic failures in PC's. You need to learn something in a training event.

Say what you want, but things are changing, and not in the way that helps pilots truly know the plane they are flying. I can't tell you how many times it has been helpful to truly "know" the plane from training to be helpful on the line.

How the so called "pink slip" didn't get the SSP truly bothers me. Say what you want,but I'd vouch for him any day of the week.

Well I guess it's just tons better than FedEx and delta too. They have crashed. Get real and tell us how the pinnacle crashes involve the training dept in any way shape or form.
