.........Agreed. I think however, the standards of training have drastically changed in the light of Colgan 3407. The guy had a perfect record. You'd think a company, in doing what they did, was reacting to a pilot failing his way to the airlines like Renslow. The guy had an issue with one concept; LOFT, in an ocean of new concepts. Big deal. That's what a captain is there for, to mentor the small stuff into place. Polish. It just seems to me that newer, higher expectations are placing undue burdens upon new hires that have superb records. It's causing more collateral damage than necessary. The airlines want every trainee to be a Chuck Jager, but the last thing they want to do is pay for 'em. Just my opinion.

Gimme a break. No. Guys that have failed multiple checkrides, like Renslow "kill people". I think your commentary is a perfect example of over-reaction to a small hick-up in training. "Kill people". Pu-lease.
