So I don't disagree with your assessment that SkyWest is a safer medium-term option for someone just starting out...but - I'm pretty sure I would have heard about a pass rate that drastically poor. I was there in 2007 too and also furloughed. Even if that did happen and I was just blissfully unaware, it's not like that is normal or sustainable (eg something OP should expect), it would have been a one time thing. Yes, they did wash a lot more people out from training back then and extra sim time was much harder to come by, but a sustained rate of 2 for 44 would be severely disruptive to ops and eventually bankrupt any small RJ operator. Not to mention get a lot of staff in the training department sent back to the line/fired.
OP you'll have no problem getting through anyone's training. Just do what you're told and you'll be fine.

The only issue with SkyWest is all classes (CRJ and ERJ) are full through to early 2020 and its not letting up. If that doesn't bother you then I'd agree with most others. However I have heard washouts in last few months have increased steeply...is it true? No idea. Just word on the street.
