Systems can only support a max of 30. There are 15 computers in the room, and you work together with your sim partner.
It seems the larger hold up is sim availability; you could pump 4 systems classes through a month by overlapping them. But I don’t believe there’s capacity to put the same 120 people in the sim every month.

Sims will always be the bottleneck. They are the most expensive factor. The problem seems to be that as the number of E170 operators grew, the number of sims have not kept pace.

Now as far as it compares to others, the scope of my knowledge is limited to Republic vs the part 135 training world. It's just different. As far as 'top notch,' I don't know if I'd call it that, but they give you the tools you need to succeed and tear you loose to figure it out mostly on your own. It is what you make it. If you're a good self-starter and study well on your own, you'll do fine. If you're a slacker, you'll struggle mightily. That doesn't mean that you won't keep slipping through the cracks - because you will - but later in training, you'll suffer and likely drag whoever you're partnered with down with you. All that being said, if you're struggling with ANYTHING, ask for more help before you get to the sim. Once you get to sims, they're just ramrodding the checkride down your throat, and the time is so precious there, there's little time to play catch up. They've washed a few guys out lately because they weren't ready. So speak up if you need help...

Most of the people that don’t make it seem to not be dedicating themselves fully to the training. They don’t seem to be utilizing after hours study opportunities and in some cases even during hours class time. STUDY, STUDY, STUDY. Do it until your eyes bleed. Take a break. Rinse and repeat. It seems to be a work ethic issue with those that don’t make it through.

During the wait for ground school after going to HQ, what are the policies on continuing to fly?
Personnel flying I would assume is ok what about CFI? I have a couple of people I would like to get to the check ride but that won’t happen before day my day 1.
Indoc start of Nov, looking like 2 months of wait time, by what I see on here.
