Boy that is the truth... when I came over to 9E I was blown away by the attitude of the guys in the training department. It was like they were just praying that they could fail you, very vindictive environment. Now that it has shifted over to the Mesaba way of doing things , it is now actually a learning environment that is concerned with making you a safe pilot, not making sure that you memorize how many holes are in the static port.

Third. But it is the only 121 training I've ever had. Like to hear from people who have been through more than one program, they can provide some factual comparisons or contrasts.

SkyWest has good training. The ground instructors do a good job preparing you for the written. That said if you are the guy that plays poker on hos phone all day you may fail. The sim guys also do a great job. The hardest 121 training I have been through was RegionsAir.

Been through republic's so called training twice (145 and 170). All done by flight safety and then a company check airman comes in for the checkride. If your flight safety guy didn't do a good job, you busted. They train you to pass a checkride. XJT trains you to fly a jet. Fantastic training at XJT. Two thumbs down for republic.

Historically SKW had a very, very low fail rate. Part of that was due to the quality of the program, but part was also due to selective screening at the interview. They changed (ie lowered) the interview standards and word is that new-hire fail rates are significantly higher now.
