A FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of mine who just completed training at skywest just TOLD ME how great the training program is at skywest. They really work with you and want to help you as long as you have a good attitude and try to work hard.
Skywest will give you extra sim lessons if needed and also extra IOE if needed and even in initial ground if one fails indoc, systems, or oral they will help you pass.
Even though skywest doesn't pay that much and they don't have a union and starting pay is not 41/hr and no bonus at least they provide quality training and make a new hire a competent line pilot.

I went through initial (CRJ) in May and found it was 'okay' (had to drink a LOT of kool aid). I think we were the first group that had to use the "Matrix" to learn flows, etc., instead of a proper sim or procedures trainer; it - the Matrix - was a waste of time IMO. We also got less sim time than previous groups (according to our sim instructor).

Matrix has advantages over the paper tiger but definitely has its limits.
