What Grumble describes was what I saw in the Navy.
What Point99 describes is more common in Air Force training, both UPT, and MWS.
You could say both training centers are similar to the military. TK is more like the Air Force. Houston is more Like the Navy. Both get the job done.
I've never been to the IAH facility. But I've been through five programs at TK. I never had any complaints about my training there, other than van rides to the hotel, and midnight sim times.

I'm an Air Force guy, but flew with the Navy for two years in a VT squadron.

Those people have commented and the consensus is that IAH training is disorganized and off the hip. So what's your point?

Pilot64 has never been through IAH training so why is he commenting on the quality of said training! I guess I'm qualified to give my impression of UAL training since I've driven past TK 100's of times going to work when Stapleton was open! And I did stay at a Holiday Inn once!

Just pointed out that all the Uhires stated it was the worst training they'd ever been through yet none of the CAL pilots had been through TK and have no frame of reference.

I don't really value much of what you say since I know what your agenda is. However, I am entertained with some of your posts like James says makes this board fun!!

Actually, I fly with a lot of Uhires and they say the training in Houston was great. I've always had good experiences at Houston TC. Brand new top of the line sims with good quality instructors. I have to admit it's nice flying the new planes and sims. If you want to fly the newest planes in the fleet, 737 and 787's, you're going to H town. All Lcal, Uhires, and all new hires have gone thru Houston and apparently there's a long line of Lual pilots waiting in line for there H town training. They must be doing something right as the majority of all United pilots, including Lual, will go thru the Houston Training System.
