The FAA is constantly all over them. You will have FAA in your ground school, simulator rides, your IOE, line checks and trips. They have over a 90% turnover rate the largest in aviation. It's so bad that once "unsuspecting pilots who didn't do their homework" realize what this place is they actually quit within months and start payments of their huge training contracts. They have hired an militant Eastern Airlines hitman for all training which results in over an 60% failure rate which is also the highest in the US by far. They say his handy work is legendary at Planet Airlines. Call anyone who did time at planet and you will find out about this guy. Because of this they are constantly hiring. They will run classes of 8 to 10 just to get one or two, but they won't tell you this. Call around because this information was easy to find. This is a "Trifecta Airline" because in the end you will end up on the street, out of work, repaying your training contract, and for the rest of your career having to check one of those "Kiss of Death" boxes on every airline application in your future. They like to lure young kids out of college who end up getting absolutely blindsided. Poor things, So anyway, Don't walk away from this one RUN! It's a career ender
I have heard nothing but good things. This guy is obviously disgruntled and bitter.... He must have got passed up for upgrade lol
