If you've seen "hazing", then a professional should report it to appropriate leadership. The instructors are not perfect. There is a shortage there as well.
I saw some "professional aviators" who didn't know flows and callouts after ten weeks. One apparently didn't know how a thrust lever worked.
Sorry, but no mercy from me on this kind of thing. My family rides on the planes.

The abysmal hazing was unwarranted. I would give specifics on who,what and where, but as a pro myself I won't. So if you don't like what I have to say maybe you should mind your own.

It's not bad training. It's 121 training. You're being paid to train. Read what you're supposed to read, practice what you're supposed to practice, and you'll be fine! It's all on a cute little iPad for you. The coffee is 25 cents, but don't let that stop you. Read, read, read, study, study, study! You can achieve your dreams!
