We did have another who failed an oral twice in the Sept class rolled back with us, retrained, passed the oral, but could not get recommended for the type ride. In my opinion, 30% would be extreme and unlikely. The training dept does all they can to get you through and give extra time if needed. It is not the best ground systems training on the 747 side and takes some self-teaching and group study, but no one is trying to bust you on the rides.
Oh, it's happened. Very close to your hire date, in fact.
