Oh dear! I think you may be brainwashed GROUNSMANWILLY

you train in the good old girl of the fleet DIR
Its obvious you didn't do much time in the old girl! but you are correct in doing your training in it because it is very basic, no RMI, HSI and crap avionics. These are the sort of aircraft you should learn in.

Without making personal attacks on the instructors I'm kind of confussed about them making you employable with EAG/NSN ect when none of them have actually worked for either companies and know their SOPs

Take this company for what they are a GA operator who will shaft you if it means making money for them, sure your chances are greater at getting a job if you do your training for them. BUT make no mistakes they will try and make you do flights in aircraft that shouldn't fly.

If you do your training with them and then get a job (well done) but make sure you stick to your guns and personal minimas, you may loose flying out of it but you will survive and enjoy your time even more.

Happy flying
