Banter? Hardly. My info comes from a very reliable cka. A guy that talks to the other sim cka and he sees the new hires fail, and get retrained, and fail again, get retrained, and finally pass (two last week btw). It is happening though regardless of what you think.

I don't know of a single pilot that works here that is happy with this mgmt team. Not a single cheerleader, drunk off of the company kool-aide. I DO know a lot of very good folks that feel cheated, lied to, miss-managed, etc and want nothing more then to see this place burn to the ground. This TA is a slap to the face.

An epic and utter failure. And it will not pass.
