During this testing you don't need to tear the seminole apart and put it back together. There is a difference between a type rating oral and checking and one just for an ATP. I agree with you guys that it sucks but is not something that is impossible.
I am personally not upset, I just have the best interest of my FOs in mind. I would rather have them study learn the airframe they are currently flying rather than go somewhere else that is going to spoon feed them an ATP. You know... something that is going to benefit them in a positive way in their career.
