They have a number of touch points throughout their journey and I believe they're brought to Dallas to fly our sim and get our procedures down well before their initial training, so they generally breeze through training. I think any troubles usually come out before they're on the property.
I don't either, but I do wish them the best of luck. Some grandiose plans there... For their sakes and ours, I hope they keep growing and hiring even more than they forecast, but even more so, I hope we both remain profitable.
Most captains who were saying 225 guys were trash later have flown with them and said they were solid. Funny how assumptions usually are wrong.
