Comair. Period.

Really? "Period"? The accident history would suggest otherwise.

TSA is pretty chill. Show up with a good attitude they will work with you.

XJET has a phenomenal training department (I'm on the ERJ side although I hear the CRJ is great as well). Unfortunately we aren't hiring or upgrading so most of the instructors are back on the line.

I second that...I'm on the L-ASA side and our Training Department is FANTASTIC! Everyone agrees that of all the nonsense we put up with at this company, the Training Department is a shining star. I've heard the same compliments of the L-XJT side as well, they are outstanding as I understand it.

What about Horizon? What is the "culture" of the training department?

Do you fault the guys in the training department for them taking off on the wrong runway? Does Virgin do runway recognition training in the sim or something?

talked to a recruiter today at dfw. phone interviews are real. no technical or stupid questions like why mesa. just get to know you. recruiter claimed a 98 % success rate. cant wait to get my app in. dont bother responding to this post cruz. im sure you know by now you are on ignore and i wouldnt read your response anyway. hopefully smart enough to know i wont listen. there were 2 3rd year envoy pilots there that were still on reserve and were quote "fed up" with the company. says they are shrinking to 118 airframes and 1500 pilots. . as for everybody else flame away

Well you can say training was fixed industry wide with almost every airline now having a runway heading/check procedure for the PF/PM as they take the runway. This change came out of the LEX accident. And you missed the point, which was that it is silly to say best training - period for any regional's training. Unless one has been through every regional, it's just not a statement one can accurately make.

I've been thru 3 121 training departments from best to worst, 1. SkyWest 2. JetBlue 3. Pinnacle (not training department but evaluation department)
