Grand total is a 50-50 Coin toss betwen ca and fo but I don't have exact numbers in front of me.
Given who they were interviewing, was anyone surprised? There were a lot of way out theres among the super senior.
It was obvious the pass rate would increase as it reached the more junior ranks, and that is exactly what happened.
I just had a 2001 XJ guy come through recurrent that SSP'd in 2014... he did absolutely fantastic and outperformed his captain with competency. Took a bit of coaxing to get him to be proactive like he would be in the plane due to years of being trained to watch the other guy hang themselves in the sim. Fly the sim like you fly the plane... it's my job as an evaluator to provide guys/gals an environment where it feels like a real plane, and I bend over backwards to do that (otherwise why are we even there? Screw the video game, this is about real world ops is a mantra I repeat). I'll break it apart as need be if someone is underperforming.
