A recent 121 failure would almost certainly need to go build some more time and maybe do 135 before getting hired at SKW. I suppose anything's possible these days, but they have not made a habit of scooping up rejects from other regionals.
That said, the training program is more thorough and less arbitrary than some other places, so some folks will do better here with the structure than at other places. At some places it can come down to luck...if your sim partner sucks, you're hosed.

At the schoolhouse right now, our instructor said there were 5 failures alone last week. Mostly for bone-headed mistakes is what it sounds like, not for the FAA is trying to find nit-picky things to fail people on (although they have been observing more and more LOEs).

Heard 4 crews pinked the LOE within the last few days. This is the first AQP initial group.

They say 4-6 weeks but it's trending 6+ right now from the guys I know who just did it within the last 2 weeks.
Should be getting better since we only had 1 December class. Someone here said we have more check airman now though?
I just got set free today so my wait begins as a Jan 2 new hire. I'll try to keep the thread updated when I get scheduled.

Just spoke to a friend, very smart guy. Failed LOE, first bust ever. No gouge, new syllabus, FAA watching. Apparently things have been pretty disorganized form the get go. Only two groups have passed the LOE within the footprint. Many others in extra time before taking the ride. Newhire quality low. Something to think about before taking the ERJ bid, at least anytime soon.
