Thing is you can bid and get large cabin before you go to the small cabin initial. So no extra jeopardy event.

It's concerning to hear that a number of new hires were terminated because they failed training. That means they had two failures in a row without a pass in between. I have no idea about Globals but failing CL65 training? That's baby's first jet for thousands of regional pilots. I'd be curious to hear the actual number and how it compares to initial busts in small cabin, somehow I think the failure rate is comparable.

Anyways, my intent was not to tell people what to do. I just wanted to say the large cabin path is still an option for those who want it. Personally, if I wanted large cabin and was still on probation I'd bid it without thinking twice. But I'm not new to flying swept wing aircraft with hydraulic controls and complicated systems. If I was a Cessna 172 CFI maybe I'd be more careful.
