Training: Positive or negative experience?
I have a CJO from another regional. I am now hearing that their training department is extremely unprofessional and poorly standardized, and fail rates are very high. Lots of negative experiences, even from those who didn't fail. This isn't just from forums but from direct contact I've had with FOs who went through it. Looking at other regionals now and Republic bases are next closest to my house. How did you feel about your training experience? Was it very professional and standardized? Did they set you up for success? Thanks!

Not a bad experience, but you still have to do your part. The instructors will help if you ask, but they won't hold your hand. Training will wear you out, but study what they tell you to and give yourself breaks. The only delay is a 4-5 week wait between LOE and IOE.
