That's not completely true...depends on the airline. You shouldn't go into it with the attitude that they NEED you so bad that you can't fail out.

I know in particular that some of the notoriously difficult training programs (like at Piedmont) don't factor in pilot need, no matter how badly they are hurting. The standards are what they are .
