My question is were ALL those that had previously failed an upgrade ride fired after failing their most recent upgrade attempt, or were there some who managed to pass on this most recent attempt?

I'm speculating that perhaps not everyone who had previously failed was fired (i.e. they managed to pass upgrade this time around). This would explain why some were cut from the next upgrade class. (The company didn't need as many captains as planned due to more people passing the upgrade ride than planned.)

Any thoughts?
