Well, it happens, even if we don't like it. I heard there was a class in February that lost 5 people out of like 18. Another class lost 3 or 4, but I think they were 23-25 in size. Just recently, an FO quit OE to go elsewhere. So it's not always a training failure that makes the numbers fall.
Those may be above the mean, but those are numbers I was told by someone who was there.
Also, it's not just AQP. Fail two written exams, or one written and a FTD PV, and you are gone, before you ever get to the AQP portion.

It seems like it would be pretty hard to flunk out of AQP.
