What about Horizon? What is the "culture" of the training department?
Top notch department of my 3 airlines it's slightly above SkyWest but the difference is small it's hard to say one is better than the other.

They are all beyond forgiving. How else would a 300-1000 hour wonder go from C152 to EMB-175. Have fun baby sitting Captains :)

You will read it because if you truly had me on ignore you wouldn't be able to see what I wrote. It wouldn't surprise me that they'd talk to you they'll take anyone, what happened to your love affair for RAH they turn you down already? You've been spouting off a lot about being a lifer captain there.

I hope you consider many not all US airlines have had at least one Fatal accident of some sort. The vast majority of those accidents were the result of pilot error.

I have to agree that Horizon by far has the best training of the three companies I have been at. I learned things about the Q400 there that I had never been exposed to at 9L or YX. They also have very reasonable expectations when it comes to what should be committed to memory vs looked up.

L-ASA had a fantastic department when I flew there. The instructors were approachable, knowledgeable and knew how to teach. I felt very confident leaving to fly the line. Definitely a lot of good memories training down in the ATL :D

Never having worked for them but my colleagues have, I would have to say great lakes turns out a phenomenal pilot. Old school eagle after lakes and skywest would be my top three picks. As someone mentioned earlier this is all subjective but based on training success rate at my current employer this is what I've observed.
