But ANY training or checking event normally counts as a strike...failed written tests, unsat scheduled sim training session, or failed PC/LOFT. I suspect this guy had repeated a sim session or two.
Yeah. He had. I had as well. I ate up both of my extra sims and had a written test failure. I can't believe how they'd just throw away a pilot they just poured about $25K into and got him his "type"?? The good thing in his case is that he walks away with it with his type.
I'm developing a hypothesis that, since the revelations of Colgan 3407, the regionals are loath to continue with any trainee that shows anything but astronaut-like ability during training. The last thing they want to do is explain why they continued with a trainee who showed anything less that perfection during training. We both had outstanding academic, training and safety records up to now.
My hypothesis could be wrong though.
