Columbus 87-04 started with about 63 studs ended up with 29. 4 of which were wash-backs so only 25 of the original class graduated. I believe 87-05 had a higher rate! Did Some Research and found out that 87-03,4,5 had the highest wash-out rates since WWII. The standard rate was 50%. Our commander told us on the first day, "look to your left and right, one of you are guarenteed to be gone!" Another IP once told me,
"I'm not here to teach you to fly "I'm here to wash your sorry ass out"
It wasn't as mean as it sounds...It was in the middle of the big Reagan military build-up and classes were very large..the airlines weren't hiring yet so they had they're pick.....
