Varies from carrier to carrier. Some like Ryanair or Easy have some serious resources behind their programs which are very much incident free and produce some great pilots.

Then you’ve got carriers in this country who are too focused on skimping everything they don’t back up their own programs which has pilots slamming tails on runways on their first flights, selecting incorrect flap settings....or up in Indo landing short of seawalls....

Not the checkies fault though, they are given nil resources to begin with.
