I agree totally. I don't think I could have sat there and taken it. I didn't think it was normal at all, I had never heard of anything like it. I just wanted to ask on here to see if I was just completely naive.

Also I agree with the previous poster saying this is one of the most standard industries, I do think that the hiring process and training class are definitely not the norm when compared to other industries. (Not saying that other specialized training isn't similiar, but definitely not the majority.)

So now that he was failed out of ground school on the last sim, does he speak up now? Or does he forget about it since it may look like he is trying to retaliate against the person who failed him, and the airline itself? Would doing so affect his chances at the next airline he tries for?

There was another witness to all this, (his sim partner and fellow CFI from the same place we work) but I don't know as to his willingness to vouch for the situation do to his new employment at TSA.... Thoughts?
