Captains and FOs are leaving from all Regionals, not just RAH. As soon as they have the hours they drop their resume at an LCC, Major or one of the 2 big Fractionals. Normal progression. Attrition is all across the board, if it wasn't Endeavor would have not created the retention bonus financed by Delta and others wouldn't be dangling the "direct flow" carrot.

I had not considered negative learning, good point. I guess the driving factor in my class prep quest is to not repeat my last experience. I interviewed for my last job, was in class less than a week later with no time to prep. I had a constant feeling of being behind the learning curve for the entire time. It ended well, I scored high on systems and passed the sim ride, but I did not enjoy that feeling of uncertainty that led up to success.
I think what would have helped me last time is something a bit more than a 2 page list of numbers to memorize before class. My new company, Republic, did send me a fair amount of things to read about in their study guide, but with out a Operating Manual to go in-depth, its really just a bunch of rote memorization.

Enjoy your time before class and relax, go to training ready to learn, and for the love of God take a few nights off and head out with your classmates. It'll seem like nothing's making sense, but riiiiiight before the check ride, everything will click into place and you'll be ready.

I'm in systems training right now. What others have said is precisely correct. The 170 is an incredibly simple airplane to learn (there, I said it), and the training program is designed to feed you everything you need to know.
Do study the material the company sends you prior to training. Make flashcards of all the limitations and memory items. It will reduce your mental workload once you get to class. For your own sanity, don't try to know how to build this airplane before you ever walk in the door. It's not necessary.
