I couldn't agree more. Thank you
The only way to have a lower rate would be to:
1) Be MUCH more selective during the interview process, thus leading to many people that are qualified but still do not get a job offer since there is a slight chance that they might fail several months down the road.
or
2) Pass everyone, wether they deserve it or not.
Neither of these are a good way to run a company. A small failure/drop out rate is not a bad thing. It shows that the company gives people a chance to come and prove themselves, but that not everyone passes.
Training lasts about 4 months right now. In that time, many things can happen. Considering half of the new hires are previous 121 guys, and another 3-5 guys per class are prior military, it should not be surprising that some of them get hired elsewhere.
