[quote=JetJock16;403229]In my first full year at SKW we hired well over 700 pilots and I'm pretty sure our failure rate was less that 1% (almost 30 in my new hire class and everyone passed). quote]
Just curious, what year was that? 700 seems crazy, and lucky for all the pilots at the top of the 700.

sounds like 2006/2007.

I've never really understood this argument of the RJ being faster so it's harder to fly in that sense. The RJ was ridiculously easy to fly when compared to the EMB-120. Last time I checked, we all had to do less than 250 below 10000' so when you are the busiest, you are also going the slowest. The only thing you had to remember was on takeoff, if given a level off below ten, pull the "thrust levers" back. Not that difficult. Comparing the RJ to a Emb-120 is no comparison at all. RJ is easy, Brasilia is hard....................regardless of the speed...........you are only going faster above 10000'.
