Now I can understand waiting on Sims or even IOE, but to let your training department get so plugged up the only solution is to to bring guys back for refresher ground school after being out of ground school 60 days???? Someone get a plunger in there and help these poor fellas out!
The problem is after the oral, the applicant has 90 days to complete the sim checkride. Otherwise, they would have to do it all over again. The oral "expires" in a sense, so if they know they can't get them to the sim, they won't schedule the oral.
