This must be someone in charge of training. It summarizes the attitude of management and some instructors. “It’s all bad students, has nothing to do with the system” hate to break it to you, but with just about everyone needing additional training at either the sim level or cpt level it might be the instructors or training program. The fact that out of the 15 or so recent hires that I talked to I can only think of 1 who made it through first try on everything and even he went to Germany for 5 extra “free” sims to get a feel for the plane. You would think that with all the extra time and money spent on training all these bad hires the company would look at the training program and make some changes. If other companies can train to the same ATP standards with a much higher pass rate in shorter times something is wrong with the program and not the students.
