I was on one of your jumpseats recently and a check airman was telling me about the low quality pilot applicants that you guys are getting now. He was complaining about pilots having to repeat multiple sims (no one fails AQP, you just do it over) and not being fired after months in the program due to multiple unsatisfactory training sessions and then requiring excessive IOE. He said that needing 100 hours was common. Was he bitter and blowing smoke or is there really a problem? The crews that I have seen in the jumpseat have been fine and I find it hard to believe that any pilot who fails multiple sims would still be employed after just a couple failures. Needing 100 hours is also crazy.
