Having a good instructor also helps. I had the same instructor all the way through and I’m sure I would’ve had some retrains if it weren’t for him. I think most of our instructors want to do a good job but they have to take a set of boxes to check and make their own lesson out of it. Some are better than others at it and having continuity helps immensely imo.
If they add the extra Sim I keep hearing about and give the instructors a detailed syllabus it would go a long way. And fixing the garbage FTDs.
In the end, getting experienced 121 guys and making small changes to the program would almost eliminate the failures.
I wouldn’t bash the 91/135 guys as much. I think that’s a bit ignorant to label them as second class. I was both (121/135) before I came to NK and my training was great. Most of the failures come from previous 121.... the one that didn’t make it in our class was 121. I think it boils down to how prepared you are when you show up and how serious you take training. It’s not hard if you study....
