Yes its sad as i heard they raised the standards and got rid of quite a few. Difficult task for a start up regional airline on the current airlines situation although its nice to read here they keep growing where most airlines are reducing now.

Raising the standards to hiring pilots who are not able of crtical thinking , is indeed a difficult task.
Good luck in growing that way.

Well, I was contacted by a friend who started in August. It looks like those who were let go didn't even pass their LST, despite extra sim sessions. Their attitude was simply inexistent for the job. My friend is quite happy instead and he says they're improving terms and conditions. They seem to have a proper selection process in place now.

​​​​​​Because of this, at the time it seemed a bit dodgy to me and since I was almost toward the end of the selection process with my current employer, I quickly turned it down.

You made a very good move in turning them down.
Unlike you i gave them the benefit of the doubt and i can tell you it was a big mistake.

Even during the occ some people walked away because the staff couldnt provide clear information, i wish i had done the same.

The agency is a digrace to the profession of pilot as they simply rob you from your money.

I am building a case against them and hopefully they will not mess with others in the future.
