Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than open your mouth and confirm it.
I don't know why this thread is so complicated, just answer the OP's question. Expressjet and Republic both have good training, maintenance, and overall safety cultures. On the other hand, Commutair is notorious for poor training and maintenance, and practically destroyed a perfectly flyable E145 by crashing it into the snow just 5 weeks ago.

If I can paraphrase your comments:
Processes, trainings, rules and regulations => making flight safe => stats look good => more folks feel safe and fly
Of course I will not say because most people in US feel safe to take flight, that is why they our airlines are so safe. That is not really logical to me.

I wouldn’t paraphrase it like that. I would paraphrase it by saying that lack of accidents/incidents isn’t what makes an airline safe. What the regulator, the airline, and especially what the pilots do is what makes an airline safe.
Statistics are the easiest way to measure safety. But it’s not the only way.
The low rate of accidents/incidents are the product of safe operations, not the other way around.

I just watched this guy's envoy video where he basically says that he does his systems classes at home as computer based training, and then takes his systems test after a week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yHP-ppOWNE&t=11s
At expressjet, we have several weeks of systems class in person, with an instructor, and they integrate systems training with three 4-hour sims before our systems test. All while paying us and for our hotel in Houston. I think that speaks volumes about how Expressjet treats its new hires as people they want to cultivate into good pilots, not just bodies to push through the machine.
