Why go there, to waste time if you don't fit their mold?
Experienced jet pilots only, if you want training to be a non issue.
One FO I know there had only 3 of 11 get retained by the company.
^ This is absolute nonsense! If you have a good attitude, strong work ethic, integrity, study with others, and are trainable, you will do well in the program. If you display these traits and still struggle, the company will work with you if you show progress.
On the other hand, if you have a bad attitude, lack integrity, believe that you know better than the instructors, do not work hard nor study, and then blame all of your shortcomings on everyone else but yourself, then yes, you will not make it.
My class had four drop out for one reason or another...they all had one or more of the negative traits I described above...the other 14 in my class made it through; most had zero jet experience!
