He owns it but it is a hard pill to swallow when you had a perfect record and were only going there as a currency builder.
The 4 sims and no AQP is correct, however i'm not sure where you're getting the info about using another airlines study materials. That's just not how it is. Using another airlines materials, and be able to go from day 1 to release to the line in 2 months will not work. The 10% fail rate is from last year when the applicant pool was drying up and for a short period of time. You seem to be getting some old and false information.
