I think this is correct, they had a 10% washout rate in training in my class, but all but a few guys needed "extra" training. The amount of stuff they are putting into 7 sims is insane with some maneuvers performed on sim one are not seen again till the type ride. Classes are filled at about 50% of what they say they want. All the guys with no glass time washed out in training. But with SWA hiring our guys at record rates I think they have no choice but to go low and see if the no glass time guys can perform in the sim during the interview.
