0 drop outs in my class. Can’t speak knowledgeably beyond that as far as rate. Training is excellent. Very professional. If you’re coming from another airline it’ll feel like a very well polished version of whatever training your other airline had. If you’re military don’t worry they understand that you aren’t going to necessarily be familiar with airline ops and they’ll teach you everything you need to know. They had the Mil guys get together at one point and I think they got a bunch of info on stuff they wouldn’t have been exposed to before.

Overall it’s building blocks. Start off with company structure and policies, manual system, etc. mostly how to find the info you need quickly and on your own. A few important things to memorize. Then you move on to fleet training. Technical side is excellent. They give you a ton of detail but don’t expect you to know the gee-whiz stuff. Memorize what they tell you to and don’t stress over how many rivets are on the airplane or what brand of tire they use. Sim training is similar building blocks. You learn maneuvers then you test on maneuvers. You learn on line ops then you test on line ops. Stay engaged, don’t burn out, but don’t blow it off either and you’ll be totally fine. I went home on the weekends. There are no surprises, the syllabus tells you exactly what to know when and what you’re doing every day. Studied maybe 1-2 hours a day outside of class. Met up with my sim partner to run callouts a few times because that’s hard to do on your own. No issues, no repeats.
