I'm currently in the thick of the MAF Cessna Caravan training course - 4 days of ground school and (starting on Monday) around 7 days (10-12 hrs) of flying. We were told at the start of the course that other operators tend to make their courses much shorter - maybe 1-2 days of ground school and 2-3 hours of flying. Because of the environments where MAF flies they see it as a worthwhile investment in their pilots to spend a bit more time and go a bit deeper at the initial training stage.
