You pretty much just have to be faster than the slowest one.

I think you mean a guy that whose initials are A and J. He is one of the best instructors in the department. He was an Eastern striker who got a nice star on his ALPA wings who later became a sim instructor at Delta before AirTran, proving that there is a diverse population of former Eastern pilots at AT.

A.J. is top-notch.

A little intense, yes. Yelled at me? Never. Ever.

Gave me crap for missing some "gee whiz" stuff? Yeah, no big deal, and not confrontational about it. Learn it, write it down for future use, move on.

One of the best sim checks I've ever received - probationary ride. Very thorough, yet very fair. No complaints.

You must mean someone else...

AJ was great. Very intense but he wanted guys to get through. I've seen him work with people on his off time and answer his phone from just about anywhere from a golf course to a boat on the lake to answer a question someone had about 717 systems. Good guy.

i have heard stories from our pilots / instructors hearing some AAI instructors yell at their students in brief/debriefs down in ATL.

Agree, AJ did my checkride when I was at AAI and I thought he was top-notch too. Made me think - a lot!!! - but man does he know that airplane!
