Get off the Alteon guys. I spent 7 years there and was never treated with anyhting but generousity and respect during sim. If you're going to have problems they're going to occur during line training from a small percentage of the trainer/checkers. Even then a good operator with a good attitude will most likely prevail.
That's not to say that there aren't some injustices, but where in the world can you go where you're immune from the odd jerk?
