Recently the ERJ program switched to an AQP initial syllabus. The first class has faced a high failure rate (4 out of 16 crews finished without extra sims or failures, over half failed the LOE) according to a few instructors and someone actually in the class. Who knows the actual cause but I'm hesitant to blame the pilots. I'm sure this will be eventually corrected, shame for everyone subjected to the experiment.
