Why were the UA pilots the only ones that needed a checklist to do a fuel balance? We can't even do what other crews flying the same plane did in a normal op without screwing it up. The talent pool has been tainted significantly over the years. Just take a peak at a planning table for a PEK or HKG trip.
Maybe you can't teach really old dogs new tricks. Perhaps they can get someone to come out and hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be okay. Should they give everybody a trophy for completing the training? Just like the kids in T-Ball. "There are no loser's here. You guys are all great".
