I certainly believe some of what he said could have happened.

I asked for more time and was told explicitly NO. I passed and nailed my ride but it all shouldn’t come together on the type. It should happen earlier and if the student isn’t ready they should be given more time. No one got more time back then. If you were on the fence they sent you to the type and if you busted they would retrain you then not before. Now you get to carry a pink slip around.

I think extra training is more common now because SOME of the candidates are so bad there is no way they can send them to the type.
