Yet it’s been business as usual for SGU the past year. Hats off to the instructors keeping this airline safe, as someone who’s been through training events in both seats, they do a great job of holding high standards and expectations.
Nobody is deriding the quality of instruction at OO.

I don’t know why a random Spirit pilot is so obsessed with what’s going on at SkyWest Inc. anyways.
Not “obsessed” in the least, and wishing OO pilots no ill will whatsoever. Have a number of friends there and have often jumpseated with OO and found nothing but professionalism. But I do think it’s important for everyone in the profession - even junior FOs - to understand the dynamics of what is going on in the profession currently. Do you disagree?
