1. Highest turnover rate at ALL regionals in recent history AS UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF REGIONAL PILOTS ARE CALLED UP FOR THE MAJORS.
2. Increased sim requirements due to:
a. More sim sessions per new hire due to:
1. Less proficient new hires than historical average
2. Less proficient instructors because, yes, those guys also got pulled up to the majors.
3. Less work ethic - yes, you too can be jammed up because your sim partner refuses to buckle down and study. Worse yet, under CRM you can be busted for not calling him on it yourself when he's screwing up, even though he then blames you for ratting him out.
3. Inadequate numbers of sims since each costs about $15 million and requires 6 months to get certified by the FAA.

As far as I know there are currently no delays. The company has worked through the issues it initially had when the ERJ program started. Days off where you're sitting and waiting for the next training event is minimal.

Compass, SkyWest, Endeavor, Envoy, ExpressJet all have AQP. (And I’m pretty sure Air Wis does now, too).
CommutAir is a dinasaur. Just got FOQA, which has been around for about two decades, and still drag around flight cases.
