This translates into having instructors who have “been there, done that, and got the t-shirt”. If you have a weakness they have probably seen it a million times before. Listen to them, ask questions and relax in the sim and you should make it through.

This is exactly why I’m going there. My brother was with XJT and then different regional for upgrade. After XJT training he thought the one in his new company was laughable. It has to be beneficial, especially for the first type rating.

My only concern is the 7 year upgrade at XJT. I know it goes to show that XJT is loved by the more senior pilot group (it looks that way anyways), but getting that 1000 PIC is still valuable, even in this hiring environment. Choices, choices..
