I'm at Eagle and the ship appears to be sinking. I'm not jumping early but just planning for the worse.

If ATPs are given on initial, I assume all new hires have 1500 or more? Are you guys having trouble filling classes yet?

As far as filling classes, to my understanding not a major problem at this point. But the washout rate seems to be increasing. A SMALL indication of the "just meeting the mins," sometimes does not work in your favor.

Any rumors on trends for the washouts or it "just wasn't their time"?

It's a shame you're going to miss out on the 3am drug dealer police raids on the first floor as well as the bar fights from Lofte's that find their way across the lot so you wake up to dried, smeared blood in the lobby. Really enjoyed my two months at the Candlehood. Though in all seriousness the full kitchen and free laundry were nice.
That being said, I believe Bro classes stay at the Comfort Suites (that's where my class stayed for differences). I heard second hand that the class two after mine got put in the Radisson across the street. If that's the case you're in luck because that's a pretty nice place.

Keep in mind that the SkyWest training department will bend over backwards to get somebody through that is making a good effort. Last year we had a guy in our class that struggled through pretty much every portion (systems, sim, and IOE). But he busted his ASS despite the challenges he faced, and believe me it was noticed. They got him through, and from what I understand he's doing great now.

Heard that some recent classes had a few that struggled, but all are out on IOE or the line now. Supposedly new-hires get a bank of sim time and three strikes before getting the pink slip.
Rumor has it that the test to NOT fail is the initial limitations/memory quiz, although there might be a few exceptions for those that didn't get the study guide until immediately before the class.
