Training Departments
I hope this doesn't throw a wrench into all of the complaining. If you look at Regionals as a stepping stone to advance your career or not, who has the best training dept. where the priority is to make you a better pilot not just train you to to meet the mins and get you online?

Eh, I don't think that's the training department's job. The training department exists to take qualified pilots and turn them into line pilots, then to make sure those line pilots keep to standards while performing your job.
In short, you're going to learn far more on the line than you will in the schoolhouse.

That's complete BS. There has been huge differences in training departments. Look at Colgan air for example and the stall training that came after that crash. Many airlines were already doing the stall training that way already. I agree that you learn a ton on line, but you need to become proficient in many emergency procedures before you get on line. Because when the $hit hits the fan.....
