Pinnacle's is terrible. Hotel is terrible. THey are way cheap and try to save costs. Manuals are all printed wrong so you spend a few days updating them. All the computers look like donations from 1987. Pass rate in initial is 80%. Pass rate in upgrade is 30%. 4 hour lunch breaks in groundschool and forget about having any questions answered. No standards and lots of technique in the sims.

I went to Eagle after this embarrasement and the training was great.

No standards? I've never busted any phase of training at 9E, my IOE students all did well and I had 100% pass rate for CA Fed rides. So sometimes it may be the individual. SOP was very important to me. Of course there are some bad apples, but to lump everyone in the same category?

Glad you're enjoying American Eagle. I know that their trng dept is great.

If you get CVG based, you only get 7 days in the hotel. Then your on your own.

Sharing hotel rooms blows my mind......... How akward would that be? Would males have to share with females? So weird? I am the only girl in my class, how would that work at say Eagle?

You'll get you own room if you are the only girl.

Do you really think they would risk THAT lawsuit LoL.

Of course you'd get your own room.
