Some guys just can't handle part 121 pace, they are usually the guys who are making career changes after sitting in a office for 20 years and part time instructing usually just giving the monthly BFR to crop dusters. Those are the guys that struggle. Every industry has a washouts. Mostly comes down to the attitude you wanna bring to training. Wanna goof off and party every day or do you willing to sit down and study every day like its the day before finals for 6-10 weeks?
There was an "experienced" ASA Captain that washed out of JetBlue. Horrible attitude and blamed others for his failures. It happens everywhere. There are some people that just don't belong in the cockpit.
