Yes, and no.
Any CLR or other behavior issue is great to punt over to ProStan. If a probationary pilot can't fly, I mean seriously slipped through the cracks at TK and truly doesn't belong here (like the OP states) I have no problem memorializing that in a probationary report.
That said, it's a Captian's job to mentor, encourage, yada yada. But if you spend 3-4 days with a guy who's just not making the cut, what in the **** will ProStan do other than hide the deficiencies of a pilot who might hurt my family?
