I was in that class... I took a personal leave of absence right before my oral, but I'll be returning soon. One failed indoc test 2x, one quit after that on day 2 or so of systems, some didn't make it past the oral, some washed out in the sim... I don't know the final numbers, but out of the ones that made it to the sim, everyone of them failed the oral or sim at least once, except 2... which I was actually sim partners initially with one of them... The one I was sim partners with hasn't even got called for IOE yet, and it's been 4 weeks since he finished. Heck, he hasn't even gotten his uniforms yet... But, his sim partner got called 3 days later to do IOE, had his uniforms, and is on the line... I don't get it...

Welcome to the suck? Sounds about right. There's a lack of 1900 check airmen. 1 in fll don't know how many are left in cle and bil. The uniform thing was a cluster from the beginning. Don't get too excited to suit up to those wool pants. Unfortunately organization and communication are 2 major issues. Too bad more didn't make it through I know that means a worse time for those still stuck in fll 1900. Waiting for their transition class. They definitely need to pump up their incentive to stay here.
