AQP : Which regionals do it?
Curious about AQP. Is it better than traditional?
Just spoke to someone that went through Express Jet training.
They said they use AQP, and that the training really got them ready for the line.
Bringing back this post from 2013:
Default AQP Training - Who's doing it?
Are any of these Regionals doing AQP style training now?
SkyWest ?
ASA ?
ExpressJet ?
American Eagle ?
Doing a search I found the following are AQP
PSA
Comair
Compass
Piedmont

Some places have AQP for recurrent but not for initial training. I believe this is the case for PSA and Air Wisconsin, but may be wrong. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can comment on that.
I can confirm that ExpressJet is fully AQP, though.

For noobs though, they can be trained pretty well to do the rote maneuvers of a PC during 2-3 weeks of sim. But if you have two people who are not experienced CA's trying to do a LOFT together, experience and judgement can be an issue.

Although I think most regionals still make you do a LOFT after the PC.
My last one was a joke. It was 50 mile leg at 6K feet. It would have been greaet to do some complex STARS, and SIDS.

I spoke to a friend that recently did loft that was very real world. Complicated SID, and STAR , from where they will be based. Sounds very helpful. Better than picking an easy, random airport.
