Well I know some of the people involved with the E-190 training program, and they are just plain great at what they do. As for the Airbus, I had also heard that things have changed recently as a direct result of the comparison with the E-190's training program.

Either way, I am willing to bet that even the old Airbus program was still heads above the typical regional airline's training program.

Point is, that someone coming from jetBlue will be considered to have been trained and standardized to a caliber that other employers will seek (rather than question as they might with many regionals)

Fly safe.
