Nothing untrue in what I said...... they have one of the highest wash rates in the industry and you just made my point about HR not stepping in the screen them out. They hire off the verbatim recital of the gouge (91.175, Electrical System, Turbine, etc). Once in, you are on your own.
I also wound't say one of the "best" either. If by "best quality" you mean you can show up looking like a door-to-door Mormon Bible talker who can memorize a gouge for the interview, then yes the "best quality" out there. Are they good? Yes! But so is most every other reputable regional's program.
Again I don't want to clog up this topic with SKW gripe but you and me are essentially saying the same thing. Their training is hard (we both said that) and their wash out rate is high (we both said that as well). How we came to those conclusions is different however.
Also just for the record my "personal reasons" are not because I've washed out at Skywest. Just in case anyone is thinking that's my bone to pick.
