That sounds a lot like Silver where do I start.... The chief pilot openly told employees he believes everyone should still be paying for their training.... That tells you how much he cares about giving you extra training if need be. No standardization at all.... Welcome to line flying at Silver. You'll learn real well how to be a sponge when flying with their captains. Most of the street captains from other Regionals are good at keeping it standard so you can expect little variance there but even then there is still some. You'll have to ask somebody newly hired into the Saab but when I transitioned to it we did 6 days of systems 10 hours a day that's it. The instructor was good and I had some knowledgable classmates one even flew it previously so that helped tremendously. Your choice though but you're limiting yourself to two regionals with some of the hardest training programs and it's because they fly space shuttles. In all reality apply to every single one and go from there.

Ya I understand that I am going to get that type of criticism from almost anywhere. I got thick skin. lol. I know my abilities, what i can handle and what I can't. I wouldn't be doing this if I thought I couldn't. I guess one advantage that I have is have gone through a 121 program already and know what to expect. I know what to study ext. I have applied everywhere but after a month have only heard back from Piedmont and Silver. So just trying to work with the options that I have.
