I fully understand the risk undertaken by hiring someone who's been out for an extended time, but a year or two?

What makes the training at the regional level stand out compared to the majors? As described above, the majors have experience in training pilots lacking currency. Speaking of training, do the majors or the regionals have the higher washout rate?

Oh, and thanks for making my point in regards to hiring 1800 hr CFIs.
