Are you going to tell the class what specific item(s) you struggled with to the point of training failure, not not?

One of the main problems that I have with Air Wisconsin is that their offer letter is not a true offer letter. An offer letter from Air Wisconsin means that you made it to phase 2 of the interview.

So, every pilot should know that when they sign Air Wisconsin's offer letter that they are taking a big risk in making it to a major.
If you have an upcoming class date for Air Wisconsin you should know that it is not too late to still drop out without them firing you or failing a checkride. I recommend immediately applying to 4-5 additional regional airlines. What is the harm in at least delaying your class date for 1-2 months and seeing if you can get another Part 121 opportunity? Accept an offer letter that means something.
Again, if you enjoy training events and are a good test taker than disregard.

If a regional is required to fail a set percentage of its trainees what difference does it make as to what regional you go to? I mean if you go to another one and you are in that percentage it’s not gonna matter where you are. I mean after all, passing a check ride and making it through training is all luck and no effort.

Your second point is so laughably false it’s not even worth addressing.
