Sorry, there is a KNOWN issue with Eagle flowbees in transition school. I cannot quote hard statistics because I am not part of the schoolhouse staff, but I've talked with enough check airmen who confirm there have been some serious performance problems.
Doesn't mean they can't fly, but some are having trouble
adapting. I don't care what the background is, low performance needs to be weeded out, either in the interview process, or in training.
1500 FO hours in an RJ doesn't mean a pilot is automatically good to go.
