Ummmm..... I didn’t ask who the horse is. Don’t really care. I’ve spent the past 4 months in the training center and sim building, and have a pretty good idea of the situation. I wasn’t here to argue with you, I just wanted to clarify a few things. Training can definitely be improved. The word going around is that the APDs all have a 47-51% pass rate. CAE instructors however, have nothing to do with it. The biggest problem is the transition from systems sims. The first time most students touch a knob or execute a profile is on sim one.

Also, the recruiters are sending guys to class that are 5-10 (our even more) years out of currency, and telling them not to waste money getting instrument proficient or current before indoc, that they will be trained here.
