AQP is no gimmie - I know of both captains and FO's failing AQP.

There are diamonds in the rough. Pilots who have not flown for a while with good experience who take a little extra time to get used to the speed things happen and the glass and they need a little extra time. Mesa has (in the recent past at least) worked with these pilots and many are successfully flying the line and passing their 6 month AQP with flying colors. They just needed a little extra time in the sim. The TRB makes the determination - largely based on the pilots attitude toward the failure. ARE YOU TRAINABLE? That's what matters. If you fail and blame the PM - then YOU have issues. Better to say - the PM failed to set the altitude and I didn't catch it. See the difference?
