Default Regionals that are strict and ones that arent

I am interested in know if certain airlines are more strict than others when it comes to training. I have heard that airlines like American eagle want you to complete the sim sessions in 8 rides with no quarter given. Whereas express jet may give you a few more sims to get you on property. Can anybody shed any light on this?

Yes. You're doing it wrong though.

Pick your regional based on pay, QOL, and other such considerations, but you're doing yourself a disservice by picking an airline based on "strictness of training."

Prettying any airline will give an extra sim or maybe two if it's obvious that you've been trying hard to excel.

You'll be getting some pretty unreliable data on this question even if you get answers. Washout rates vary quite a bit and the training departments themselves change. I recommend patronizing the APC thread of the airline you are considering and ask the pilots for the latest news.

Nothing wrong with knowing your limitations

If you are not the sharpest tool in the shed...you have to think about these things. No shame!!!!!

You should definitely go to Piedmont or Trans States.

Yeah, I hear Trans States has a top-notch training department, geared towards pilot success no matter the cost So good, in fact, I heard the long-time Chief Pilot resigned from his post to take up a coveted position as an Instructor

If you're still reading my posts, RZ, know I'm kidding. Respect.
