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?

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.

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
