Even if that did happen and I was just blissfully unaware, it's not like that is normal or sustainable (eg something OP should expect), it would have been a one time thing. Yes, they did wash a lot more people out from training back then and extra sim time was much harder to come by, but a sustained rate of 2 for 44 would be severely disruptive to ops and eventually bankrupt any small RJ operator. Not to mention get a lot of staff in the training department sent back to the line/fired.
