Why are today's 1500+ hour new hires having any trouble at all in training? I thought the 1500 hours was supposed to deliver a more competent pilot to the front door of the airlines, wasn't that the intent? I was hired at 1300 with 700 dual given, not really all that much below today's mins. I am not super-pilot, but never required any additional training.
What is so different in the quality of the hours people are getting today?
