Sometimes when you are flying professionally it isn't about whether the employer is 'giving you enough time', it is about whether you can be trained in the amount of time they have allocated. It isn't YOU paying for the training anymore. It is YOU being able to absorb the information in a given amount of time. Not everyone can do it.

The 1900 is a big step up for some folks who've only flown light slow GA stuff. Inevitably some of these folks are going to have issues with the transition. But that doesn't mean that you are going to have issues. Go into training with a positive can do attitude, an open mind and a won't/can't fail confident mindset and you'll do fine. In the past I have been an instructor for a major airline. I could always work with a guy who was having troubles but had a positive attitude. I don't work well with a bad attitude. Most of the folks I've seen fail had no confidence and a poor attitude.

Regarding training at regionals, some are known to be filled with hardazzed instructors more than others. A freind of mine went Eagle almost ten years ago after flying boxes in Commanders at night in IFR for a yr, and they insulted and bad mouthed his flying all through the eval sim; then said, "we'll let you know". This sounds like military style training, but not sure. A month later they said yes, but he was at Comair by then--don't worry for him; he's at Delta now.

At XJT 10 yrs ago, an instructor told me they were having to retrain left and right, because the syllabus was based on transitioning from the ATR to the EMB-145, but most of the new hires had never even flown a turbo-prop. The instructors complained, but the company stance was to keep the syllabus short, BUT if you need some amount of extra training you got. At that time they really wanted you to succeed and if you had a good attitude, you were given a lot of leeway. 2006, I spoke to a guy who came over from another regional where new hires were just being recycled through until they passed. So it depends on the level of need at the airline. Of course this was prior to the 1500 hr rule.

Calls for phone interviews have gone out on the 135 side. Not sure if it's too late to get a resume in for this cycle.

Heard about a possible signing bonus at Ravn since they really are having trouble finding pilots.
