Guess how they measure whether the training is effective? Failure rates. Yep, we don't have enough guys failing training in the the 6/12 model, so they can "afford" to stretch it out. It all comes down to dollars and until ...

It all comes down to failure rates until ... we "ding" an airplane and maybe somebody gets hurt! It seems like a REALLY bad idea to me? Maybe we should do away with any sort of annual training, just think how much money we could save! Booyah!*?

There are some things that should never get cut in the interest of saving money, maybe this is one of them? I suggest we stretch out our maintenance inspections and start saving money there. We could cut our preflights down to 40 minutes if we didn't have to do a "walk-around" inspection?
