The new (past few years) PSI program is a change that I think was not for the better. However, if you factor in that all the other training centers are also having issues then Envoy still stands out as better than average. Heck, Flight Safety takes guys who have never been in the real plane; types them, and then has them teaching others. Most of the younger good instructors have been scooped up by mainline carriers. As hard as it is to get good pilots; it's almost harder to get good instructors.

As a few POI's about stories from other training centers. My airline is just opening it's own new training center and some of the stories I've heard while chatting with the FAA guys about other regionals would raise your hair on end. As bad as you think Envoy's is.... there are worse. I know one airline where the FAA just recently pulled every check airman's letter, and made them all reapply.
