The E-175 is pretty much a Santa Clause program, but you do have to put in the effort that’s required including on IOE. The philosophy is the same on both fleets now. The E-175 was a ball buster when it was a 121 PC ride program. I know those 3 guys and they’re all fine, that’s why they’re there and have been there for a while. They come from a generation where you have to be competent or your life depends on it.
If the snowflakes of today can’t handle those guys, then I would hope they’d call out sick before I’d put my family onboard a SkyWest jet.
