I believe it's a 93% pass rate now, down from 98% a few years ago. Many people are getting the go ahead that would've never been previously considered.
Recently the ERJ program switched to an AQP initial syllabus. The first class has faced a high failure rate (4 out of 16 crews finished without extra sims or failures, over half failed the LOE) according to a few instructors and someone actually in the class. Who knows the actual cause but I'm hesitant to blame the pilots. I'm sure this will be eventually corrected, shame for everyone subjected to the experiment.

Hell a November class on the CRJ had 7 initial SV ground school failures. I think 5 passed the second attempt to keep going. These guys are putting their careers on the line because they read a gouge from their friend and trust it 100%. Then they change the written test and the failures sky rocket....when it's all the same systems!
Not sure what's up with all the recent ERJ failures but I can't imagine the quality of training is drastically different. Skywest wants you to pass. Could have had a bad patch of students honestly.

Plus isn't the Q400 one of the hardest type ratings to get? Ironic that a Horizon pilot would say the Skywest training is difficult.

More likely is that they misspoke or possibly they misunderstood the wording themselves.

My buddy was getting pretty excited talking about how bad the 175 program is right now.
I don't remember everything he said but mostly it seemed that the 175 training department is screwing up in about every way possible.
Examples like handing out the wrong forms and releases/clr then making the students redue their 1/2 days work. Something about the computer in the class room always crashing leaving the subject matter disjointed. Also apparently instructors were not always correct even on callouts.
I asked if he let them have it in the class eval, to which he said no because the evals got turned in to the instructor one at a time. Haha

Then that is a wasted opportunity for the company to get feedback on their instructors. The one getting the eval, in this case, should never see it first and it should be completely anonymous.
