I'm not sure about the classroom fail rate... but there are a few that don't complete IOE and are terminated. Being on the flight standards side of things I see some of this first hand. A bad attitude is usually the culprit.
Skywest will work with most anyone with most anything as long as you have a good attitude. If you make excuses and get a bad attitude... your gone. This goes with new hires and guys that have been around for a long time.
My advice, study hard and accept responsibility when you screw up. No one is perfect and they know that.
Good luck guys and have fun!

Just remember that if you fail out you really have nothing to lose. If you have made it to this point in aviation, then you must be inteligent and determined. You can do ANYTHING, and make more than you will your first year at a regional. Keep that in the back of your mind and you will breeze through training. Good luck with your new JOB,
not career.

Can somebody give me an idea what the hiring forcast is currently? Also, lets say you are hired within the next 1-2 months, at the current rate of growth/attrition is an upgrade in 1 - 1/2 years still a feasible thing?
In training due they let you travel PS to/from home? Is it practiced by many? How hard is it to get the RJ with prev. 121 experience? How about SLC as a base? Is a crashpad needed in SLC if commuting? Thanks.

Hiring looks good through early next year.
Upgrade on the brasilia should be feasible in 12-18 months IF you have 2500TT and 1000 in a crew environment...all the CFI's on the Bro won't be eligible to upgrade, so you will bypass them.
They turn on your travel benefits very quickly, and have been known to PS folks home during training...that is EXTREMELY unusual in this industry, so I wouldn't depend on it.
If you have 121 turbine time, you are almost guaranteed the RJ...whether you want it or not.
SLC is available for some new hires right off the bat due to growth...but there are a lot of senior folks there, so you probably won't have a line for a while. You would probably need a crash pad...commutable lines usualy go senior at any company.
