I know for a fact that they have gotten some doozies, though most of the ones I know who moved on were good sticks. There was an infamous LASA pilot who had serious training issues. Picked up by a legacy and the training issues continued- couldn't make it through MD training. Rather than being terminated put into pilot recruiting until could hold an easier airframe. Now I hear in the training department.
OMG!
I know exactly who you are talking about!
A friend told me one day that she took his resume at a job fair. That obnoxious ***** actually said "well, you have a lot of experience, but you aren't anything special. I'd recommend becoming a CP or a LCP."
And everyone knows exactly how she got where she is. She answered the phone on reserve, and wound up all over the news for being another "first." The place where she is could never fire her. No matter how horrible she is.
I heard some people resigned from the training dept rather than sign her off.
