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

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

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.Originally Posted by Saabs
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?

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
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.
