Probably because living in or near Seattle is absurdly expensive, and commuting is horrible.

I spoke to an FO today failed the first MV and then had 43 days in between his next MV which they failed again!

23 Training failures and counting last month! Run Away!

Stinger. I know some good pilots that failed their Q400 MV. The effort they gave would have easily got them through training at the other big regionals no problem. One of which tuffed it out, went through the review board and eventually got through. Now that he is finally on line, he hates it. And he is a good guy with a good attitude. If u want mgmt to treat you with respect and not try to exploit you every chance they get, go somewhere else. Im not a fan, but you would be light years better off at OO or Compass. U will make around $600 more a month too.

Don't be ridiculous. Training failures suck but nobody should run away from qx because of a sudden surge in training failures. Those failures are those of the trainees in question and are not indicative of future trainee performance.

That's just lazy logic.

Please tell me this is a failure to emote sarcasm through the internet.

I didn't fail MV, or any other event, gate or not. And I'm not judging those who have.

Spidey sense tingling hard.

Really Griever? How do you know? Been keeping your own analytics? You sound like a company pogue. It is a no brainer that large gaps between sim sessions produce negative results. Especially when pilots are just barely hanging on.

Not sure if you even know what emote means. I’m just telling it how it is.

Pogue? I like how haughty you've become, don't ever change, precious.
