Also heard one of their pilots got sent back to base when trying to upgrade to the BE99 because his IFR skills were not up to company standards.
Jeez! Have you ever thought maybe there's a REASON for this? What is with some people these days and expecting to get through training, IOW, and get a type rating like it's "owed to them." Work hard, study, do your due diligence and you won't be cut. And if you are, maybe consider a career change.
I've seen WAY too many people who have no business flying an airplane pushed through training, and to date, I'm lucky one of them has not yet managed to kill me.
