So many people today say guys don't make it through training now due to the lack of experience. How do you explain the 05-08 era of guys hired with 500hrs TT that nearly all made it through? Same airplane today as then, except today the candidates should be more "qualified." If you say it was the dire need of the industry for pilots, then why aren't these guys getting through now with 3x the experience, and also such a pilot shortage?
