Additionally, I found numerous applicants that were unable to complete a takeoff or an approach.
Did you just say "dude?"
Let's not confuse the truth with pessimism. You don't seem to understand the difference.
You really don't know what "bingo fuel" means, do you?
It was a figure of speech that I don't need to sit here and waste my time talking to you about your opinions. I haven't had an applicant fail on me yet, I just asked my coworker who has been here 8 months if he has and he is 11/13 initial pass.. That's roughly 85% so like I said your opinion is your own and it varies based on instructor etc... If what you said was indeed truth then we wouldn't be able to keep a 141 certificate I'm sure of that. I'm instructing and I enjoy my job here as do most of my colleagues...
