It doesn't take someone working at Silver years to figure out that its a gamble with your career trying to make it through training. That guy has more experience on the Saab than prolly most if not all of Silvers captains and Im sure he helped out his sim partner quite a bit. End result his partner still washed out, it's no surprise that this is happening when you only get 6 or 7 lessons. While I agree practicing in the sim with it off is good it's still no substitution for when it's running or out on the line. A good friend there that is a captain is experiencing these new FO's and it's not pretty.
