Last time I checked pilots with recent training failures and background check gremlins are not the regional creme of the crop.
JetBlue's hiring stats:
250 new hires in 2016
370 projected for 2017
(I think 2015): 6713 apps / 309 hired / less than 5%
If it were that easy to get on, there wouldn't be ANY regional pilots. everyone in my class was mil and/or regional captains with impressive resumes. I don't know about spirit or frontier, but I imagine they are in a similar boat. If it's so easy, why are you still at the worst regional in probably the world?
