PSA needs to invest in their training department and train their candidates to proficiency if they want to survive.
Thats a great reason to never fly on Horizon.
This isn't a career for everyone, and some people need to be washed out. Letting them through now even though they shouldn't be in the cockpit is just taking away layer after layer of the Swiss cheese.
Remember the guy that crashed the 767 in Houston? He is a perfect example of why some people need to be washed out of any training program.
PSA is an entry level airline. The pass rate should NEVER be 100%. The job of regionals is to spend time and spoon feed those that need a little extra help, and to wash out the ones that do not belong in the cockpit to begin with.
