Are you referring to my statement about people hired early in the year still stuck in the training center?

I’m not sure how it would compare. I believe at one time, at least for my class, the training footprint was six to eight weeks.

One problem particular to this year was the fact that you had a lot of pilots being transitioned from the CRJ to the ERJ. Add to that the new 175 program training starting up, weekly or bi-weekly new hire classes, and legacy ERJ pilot upgrades. I believe the only one of those that no longer applies now is the CRJ to ERJ transition pilots. I’m pretty sure that’s finished now. However, from what I’ve been told, ExpressJet has lost quite a few Flight Instructors in the training center and it’s not a quick process to replace them.

You would have to check the individual regional forums to get an idea of how ExpressJet compares to the others.
