The training department is really not a big deal at all, people make such a big deal out of it but if you suck they will get rid of you but most pilots are fine, and I mean really suck. Study and take it seriously there are a lot of great people in the training department and a couple not so good ones, it's not something you should base a decision on it's a piece of cake if you take it seriously. I'm not trying to stick up for jk I'm just saying in my experience in the years I've been here I've never had an issue with the training department and neither has most of the people I know.

I doubt 175s at PDT too.

With the big 4 carriers losing over 10,000 to retirements over the next 5 years it will move real fast. Watch in the future how hard it will be for JetBlue,Virgin, Alligaint to keep FO's.
These young guys are set! This big gap in hiring doesn't come around often.
