If they're coming to XJT then I'm guessing they were FOs straight out of the pay for hire program. Who wouldn't feel violated after buying their job for 30 grand?
I worked for a company that flew to all the same places and had quite a few friends who worked there both as Captains and FOs. One buddy who got hired as a street captain said that half the kids you'll fly with are more harm then help in the cockpit. There isn't really much of a screening process....so imagine the most desperate, SJS afflicted kid at your local FBO as your FO right after he got his commercial multi! Thats not to say that everybody is bad but I can tell you from experience that its more than the usual 10%
FYI, one of my buddy's who was a CA there went directly to CAL. Good luck
