Looking at Expeessjet b/c of their training and ORD base. Coming from only C-172/Pipers, this is my first forrey into fast a/c. Is the washout rate here similar to other companies and they will give you a few extra sims? I heard most make it though if you work hard and have a good attitude. I’ve never busted a ride and don’t want this to be the first. Thanks.
Expressjet is known for having the best training in the industry. They will go above and beyond to help get you through as long as you are making the effort and have a positive attitude. You are pretty certain to get ORD if that is your base of choice.
