training prob.....

this is not a useful answer, those have already been covered.

I think the pass rate at the big 2 sim schools is 98%, so mathematically you probably don't have to worry about it.

Pray for a company instructor!!! If you can basically fly the airplane, the instructor can handle the rest. It makes the ride a piece of cake. On the other hand, if your company instructor screws you up, the guy running the sim will be laughing so hard at your SIC, you can get away with almost anything. It's a no lose situation.....provided you can handle the flying part.

Of course, I'm sure this comes to late for you. But I just had to put in my bent penny. (I swore I wasn't gonna post on here any more.)

Sounds like many of us have "been there." By all means, tactfully request a change with all possible speed. Seems to me it's a safety issue for you to learn every last scrap you can about that new airplane. I'd want to.

I had a sim partner from Spain who was training JRA and the day before the check ride they told me that we could only train togther and that we couldnt do our check rides togther. That was the best news I heard all week not only did I have a FSI instructor on my check ride I also had the FAA sit in on it. Let me tell you, it went so smooth b/c all I had to do is fly the airplane and my right seat guy was the best. Most of the time getting a instructor for your checkride is great. This is nothing against my original sim partner he was good but the other guy was great
