It’s a mess because they tried picking up extra flying from other regionals who’ve been dropping the ball for months. Now they’re caught with their pants down in the same predicament.

They can blame it on weather and the Omicold, but we all know that 200+ Resignations, which included 141 Captains contributed to the record cancellations.

We have an obvious poaching war going on between American and United.

Once indoc is finished

Ground school is everything from the SOP. I.e Limitations, memory items, certain procedures, etc. There is no systems test.

CRJ systems are done via CBTs between Indoc and Ground

Your CRJ ground validation occurs at the end of ground school.
The Knowledge Validation occurs during your final checkride.

Noob question... what is the difference between GV and KV? And is your final check ride then an oral grilling followed by a sim?

There is a test after each of the systems CBTs validating your knowledge of that individual system. As mentioned above your GV is at the end of ground and KV is with your LOE. KV can and will include some questions on systems.
