The training is NOT going "on schedule". I'm sure "weak pilots" don't help the situation, however I'm gonna say they aren't the major factor here. For instance, my sim partner and I finished all our scheduled training on-time, however MV and LOE events were never scheduled for us. So, we finished SIM7 and have now been waiting for our next event for 5 weeks. We've been told they might be able to get us back in September.

There are at least 5 pilots I know in similar situations, and it was always due to those last events not being scheduled... due to a lack of simulators and/or lack of check-pilots. None of the people I know about were because anyone got backed up or needed extra sim days.
