He passed on that generous offer and at my suggestion called Mesa, where he did fine.
Sounds like a fair shake to me... plenty of extra time (paid too) to get his program together and things right that maybe he did wrong the first time around. As opposed to trying to bandaid a hot mess and force it through the system.
In the old days many folks (at many airlines) who were dropped for struggling in sim would have killed for an opportunity like that.
That dude cut off his nose to spite his face... now he can enjoy mesa for years to come
