It's actually going to be some some the best "old style" training left around. Perhaps he misunderstood the question or you heard the answer wrong, but the training is NOT two weeks. It is closer to 8 weeks from Indoc to Getting off OE. Prepare for 2 weeks of Indoc, fom/far's. Then 2 weeks of systems, after which had you the tools you'd be able to build a 1900 blindfolded. Next will be a week-10 days of cbt's and cpt's, which is taught with poster board cutouts on plywood and in a non motion SIMM. Sometime during this phase you will do your oral, which is about 2 hours for an FO and 3-4 for a Capt. This is all done in house at FLL. From there you'll go to flight safety at MCO for full motion Simms, I think 9 sessions + 85% checkride. 85% of the checkride is done in the SIMM. You complete the other 15% of the checkride, approaches and single engine work in the airplane at night in the pattern at MCO. You'll be in a decent motel close to flt safety for the time in MCO, 2-3 weeks depending on the training calendar. From there back to FLL for OE, which will take another week.
How to prepare: memorize ALL limitations and memory items prior to day 1. Also memorize from the far's : VERBATIM definition of an accident, incident, NTSB reporting criteria, Captains duties and FO's duties as written in the far's.

HR type interview with the upper management, 50 question written (on a computer) test... i think 70% was passing.... mostly commercial to ATP level things.....and then a SIM ride in their Beech 1900C Frasca sim which is touchy as any sim to fly.

The man you spoke with also lied to you. Never was I told there was a $2250 up front cost to be collected in addition to the $300 a month docked from your pay. I told them I'm not going to pay it. They lead me out to discuss it then brought me back in to say they will work on that. I'm off to the sim now.
