I kept my old T-37 and T-38 pubs. The other day I was leafing through my old T-38 In-Flight Guide and was shocked at the departures and approaches we flew back then (1986 CBM) If I had to fly one of them today in a 767 I'd have to study and brief it for 20 minutes! I've always said that UPT wasn't about teaching students to fly, but managing a tremendous amount of knowledge and "built in" pressure, both time pressures and skill-sets. Like others have mentioned, most students, given enough time can pass UPT, but thats not the point of it. We washed out guys in my class that had hundreds of hours prior to entering UPT and we washed out 50% (2 out of 4) Kuwaiti pilots as well. It was a different time back then. To the OP's original question, a few of my ex-classmates who washed out went on to successful airline careers. Good Luck
