Okay... Maybe that didn't come out exactly like I meant it. Having been through a couple of Flight Safety/Boeing and PanAm initial training programs, my opinion is that they are pretty light on content. And, because they are customer driven, they will pretty much pass anyone. After all, that is what they are being paid for. And, the anyone they pass will still make it through in the prescribed course time even though they are definitely behind the power curve. Just the economic reality of contract training.
I do think that it is unfortunate that those folks who need a little extra time are not afforded it and pushed through the system. It doesn't serve them, or their fellow pilots, well.

With the 767 schedule, even going down to two flights per day nothing has changed for the better. Now since you’re required to call, they’ll just require you to pick up a third leg or sit and the airport. Does this help with fatigue? Not really.
