Those who "fear" the guy you call "pink slip" is the guy I would do an oral, PC, or type ride with any day of the week. He's a straight shooter. You either know your stuff, or you don't. The XJ way is far different. In my opinion, too easy. No digging in orals (just to teach something new), only basic failures in PC's. You need to learn something in a training event.
I flew a 4-day trip with AR once. He is truly the highest order of DBaggery. (If it's AR we're talking about that posts his higher than mighty/I know all this inside info about DL on Airlink pilots.) He is extremely arrogant, snuck into outside corners of DTW terminal to smoke, and yes I agree, a mediocre pilot at best. What really got me was how he made it overly noticeable to adjust himself in his seat when I was getting ready to land. He then hovered within inches of the yoke with both hands for the last couple hundred feet. Ugh...
I guess he should get one commendation though. He's a good enough bull sharter to pull the wool over the hiring folks at DL.

Probably not. I can't imagine an airline would spend tens of thousands of dollars only to fire you during probation.

The Profile on this website lists JFK as a domicile. What are the chance new hires can do their reserve in NYC?

The Pinnacle training department is great if you are a CRJ guru, and have flown nothing other than that. You guys can sit around, and argue over the number of wing rivets in an oral all you want. However, airlines that have multiple different a/c types could never run like that, no one would ever pass.
My last 9E PC was 11 hours start to finish, with all the airwork done at JFK.

No, your last PC was a one time thing an hour brief and 2 hours of flying, and 2 hours of practice oral for the FO and 3 hours of ATP training for the FO, the syllabus of which was made by mostly former XJ guys in the MSP training HQ. but don't let facts and half truths get in the way of a good "my training dept is better than yours" whine and cheese party.
I'm sure every original 9E pilot is gonna miss that $hitshow.
