I am a FlightSafety guy training at a large regional airline. My sim partner is a DCA grad and ex instructor. After reading all the posts on here lately, I think people are seriously missing the big picture. We are for the most part preparing ourselves for a career in aviation. While at the time, it may seem that the things concerned with your training are a big deal, its important to remember that in the big scheme of things they trivial and insignificant. I am referring to the somewhat elitist attitudes that come out of the big academies, where everyone tries so hard to prove that their decision to attend "academy a" was right and everyone else is wrong. My sim partner and I attended two different schools and guess what, I am no better than he and he no better than I. We work together to learn what we need to accomplish, we focus on the task at hand and try to make sure that we support each other so we dont look like idiots. Everyone around here needs to relax, focus and get along. You never know who will be sitting next to you in training, on your months trip schedule or across the table from you at an interview. In the end, airlines dont give a crap about where you trained, as long as you know what you need to know, have a good attitude and are trainable. |

Well said, could not agree more. If you don't mind me asking, at what airline are you training? |
