Since everyone is throwing about speculation on this instance, try this one on for size...the individual showed up with a type already, didn't put in the effort required and was subsequently smacked about. One of the newest guys in the training department would be loathe to send forward a new hire ill equipped for that oral, particularly since he knew the evaluator and knew what was required.
The version I got involved a dispute and the guy was actually right. He admitted to missing some things (who doesn't) but this was an ORAL. I guess we will never know because the oral was given at the FSDO (??) with 2 feds and no Allegiant training guys (***??) I don't know that this has EVER happened here. The guy was then given an oral by 2 management training guys and passed with flying colors. Fails the sniff test.
Perspective? 8 months to get people through (perfect storm?) due to years of relying on Pan Am (1 sim now), FAA mandated shut down, senior check airmen quitting, constant turnover of training staff, (including the director), new check airmen just upgrading to captain. Nothing to see here folks,...
