Food for thought.
I don't know if SW does AQP initial but YX just got approved for it and word is classes after the first of the year will be AQP. That fact alone puts YX in the "first choices" category.
AQP goes a long way to reducing the risk of a training failure. It won't save you if you're 50 miles behind the airplane or you don't study, but it will save you in the event you have a bad day. And we all do, occasionally.
If I were you I'd call recruiting and push my class date until the first AQP initial class. Trust me when I say you don't want to take a traditional checkride if you can avoid it.

At Skywest you have no representation in the case you make a mistake while out on the line. We just had a probationary pilot FIRED for filing a safety report after he and the pilot flying captain screwed up a go around. The company FIRED them instead of trying to see if there were other problems. This won't happen at other companies. Good luck at RAH, that's the right choice

Intentional violations are not covered. Just so ya know... sterile cockpit violations are almost always considered intentional.

You’re not wrong about representation but we don’t need to embellish the last disciplinary event to drive that point home.
