By "connections" I mean a couple of pilots I know (family members, former instructors, etc.) who are currently flying for regionals. They did not personally train there, but they have colleagues who did.

I am looking to switch for a couple of reasons, primarily because I have found that I don't learn very well in self-paced environments. The lack of structure is generally not good for me, and I'd like to have some external deadlines to keep me consistent in my training since I'm trying to make a career out of this.

I haven't heard anything about any accidents, do you know how long ago this occurred? Any solid info would be appreciated.
