Last I heard he was on about his 4th additional training session. They will work with you but eventually they have to cut you loose.
Most of my instructors seemed impressed that I has my CFI and actually instructed full time before coming there. Most of the new hires are fresh out of various certificate factories and can't fly instruments to save their life.
To make a long story short, as long as you are good on instruments you will do absolutely fine.

Can't fly to a VOR or hold?! You gotta be kidding me...I mean this isn't rocket science folks. These factory folks scare me a little....sad too that they're failing out
