There is definitely room for improvement (a completely different topic) but the pass/fail rate is not even close to being newsworthy at this point.
So how exactly does that work if someone fails the upgrade? Do they just get to go back to the FO pool? Or do they get to try again? I can't remember which regionals but I hear some of them just straight up fire you if you can't pass the upgrade.
