Having gone through both school houses, there's no comparison.

Elabortae
 

Can you elaborate on the training deficiencies? Also, I currently live in San Antonio so being in Houston isn't a bad thing in my case.

Its not a rumor. It's happening, just a matter of when.
As far as the differences, think college campus with cafeteria vs. airplane hanger. I can't speak to the training.:cool:

I have a friend who is in Miami for his five full-motion simulators. Then back to Houston for the last 4 days of the course. It seems most... But not all... people are going to Miami.

Different instructors everyday. Zero consistency between any of the instructors, especially the ground guys. Retired pilots that don't know the systems and don't care. Most of them seem to just be there to collect a pay check and just teach to the test. KB has zero oversight and not a clue whats going on.

To be fair the PIs in the Full Flight Sims were pretty good but had a new instructor everyday. However, by the time you get to those guys you are supposed to know the FM and systems, but since they only teach the test and can't answer any questions harder than the surface you will be behind.

I spent more time self studying at night, every night, than I did in the training center.

737 is a pretty much teach yourself course. CAL was def. more do it yourself training vs UAL's spoon fed courses. I do agree that the CAL way is worse but didn't find it as terrible as many on here have posted.

Plus 1.....!!!!!!!

Down in IAH last week. First FFS to be relocated was to be unplugged this week. From now on they're short sims and will be using Miami more.

So if I bid 73 and ask scheduling for Mia sims, how long do u go to IAH, and then how long MIA?

I doubt they'd let you choose. They'll just give you a schedule.
