Not so sure about the relationship between Arann and Sky Blue. Lately the company has introduced a sim assessment on the B737 for type rated FO's trained due to the number who have either failed their OPC on entering the company or struggled through line training. The standard in Sky Blue used to be very good but from the people I see lately it is not as good as it used to be for whatever reason. Now in saying that I'm not saying that everyone coming out of there is not up to scratch. I have found that Aer Arann are more cautious about taking people from there.
