Dude, there's no need to call anyone names. Some of the worst rumors I've heard come from within company sources. The average pilot is cannot speak for an entire company based on the rumors at the gate.

A guy that works for Republic in his 4th year told me that the word is they can't fill classes, and no one showed to a Q400 class last month. He's a great, reputable dude, too. That's just what is going around. Meanwhile, I have another friend who was rejected after what he thought was a good interview. Another source who kept in contact with his interview group said 2 out of 10 were picked.

You can hear four different things about the same situation around aviation. It is what it is, and working there doesn't always make you more privy to better information.
