Now with the stellar quality of candidate we attract I have heard rumors less than half get through. If you study hard and actually know how to fly IFR, do a V1 cut, ask for checklists, and remember to add power when you get an engine failure or shut one down due to fire, you will be good. It ain't rocket science. It truly is that simple. Something breaks and lights go on and bells go off, "give me the _____________ QRC/QRH please." Then sit back and watch the pilot monitoring flip some switches while Bob(autopilot) flies.
