Narrative:

I completed the pilot merger phase 2 training today. The length; complexity; and number of changes on my fleet (B767/B757) make it nearly impossible to remember and safely operate the airplane under the new guidelines. There are extensive changes to the flight manual; profiles; call outs; normal and abnormal checklists; as well as cockpit flows. It would be comparable to starting as a pilot at a new airline; being handed the flight manual and being told 'good luck'. I'm concerned that this training or lack of it is going to lead to something disastrous. The testing at the end of each section isn't really testing at all. After getting an answer wrong 3 times; the system just gives you the answer. With the level of complexity and number changes; this training should involve a classroom session; an fbs; and simulator session at minimum. I'm left wondering if the company has any commitment to safety or is just locked into a completion time line. Even more concerning to me is that the FAA would approve or endorse this.
