Regionals with the worst training departments
 
Training departments where they expect you to know everything coming in. Instructors that contradict each other. Lack of standardization. Arrogant ********* instructors. Instructors with poor communication skills that just end up yelling. Cryptic test questions. High failure rates for captain upgrade. Places that don't give many days off between training events, preventing you from going home to take care of bills, etc. The list goes on.

Give me a roll call of the worst and best training programs and environments.

Thanks.

How can one compare unless they experienced them all?

Comparison from what you've experienced to your friends working at other places.

This. Or else why do you lack such confidence in your ability that you are shopping for an airline based on ease of training and not pay, work rules, QOL?

I'm pretty sure most of the airlines that can't hire as much can't afford to have people not pass training

Aviationluver 06-26-2016 08:08 AM

I'm shopping around for everything QOL, training, pay, etc.

If your worried about the difficuly of training as one of the reasons to pick a regional, I'd wager that going to a regional isn't the thing you want to be doing
