Guys failing out of everything from FPT to the checkride then getting training review board and getting terminated, no choice to resign. A certain individual in management told a guy who did not fail a single written, or unsat a sim but his sim partner did was terminated for not working as a team. A Chief pilot told him that this was coming from a pay grade much higher than his, that he was truly sorry but he had no choice.
Even guys coming in for upgrades are being failed as well as aqp, recurrent and proficiency checks. These are the facts, and hope it helps someone.
Very doubtful if there is any fact in here at all. A couple of EJET instructors have requested to go back to the line because they want to fly. They are certainly not being sent back. I don't have firsthand knowledge of the CRJ side of the house but I would doubt there is wholesale reduction in training resources just yet with several aircraft left to deliver this year.
Large blocks of sim time are booked and cancelled all the time...nothing to see there.
Any training program has failures and at different stages of training, no surprise there. On the EJET the numbers are not out of the ordinary and definitely not "suspicious".
You can't put much weight in anecdotal Chief Pilot meetings especially regarding terminations or disciplinary matters. Those stories by nature are one-sided and inaccurate at best.
So your information is summarily unhelpful to anyone as it has almost no basis in fact, contrary to your assertion.
