Now I am not Chuck Yeager, but I am wondering what it is these guys hare having so much trouble with. Thanks.

On another note, has anyone heard of someone not getting the job offer in the last few months?

Everyone gets their panties all in a not about training failures.
The training failures are purely a result of lowered hiring standards introduced after CE was fired-ermm "resigned."
Now there are 0 technical requirements to get hired. People who would previously have been screened out due to lack of skill are being hired. Of course training failures have gone up.
Don't sweat it. The training department is by far one of the best. If you put the effort in you will be just fine.

I also heard there was a guy with a similar background as yours the struggled going in to the CRJ with less automation but they worked with him and he got through just fine. I wouldn't worry about it man. Sounds like the people who actually were let go, were under legit circumstances.

Does anyone know if SKW would pay out contracts from previous employers if you're hired?
