Hang on, who are the bad guys? (Maybe my brain is not engaged.)

The Feds aren't sick of failure rates, they're sick of Allegiant cutting corners on training. They won't hesitate to pink someone if they're deficient due to training department shortcomings. The training department has been under the magnifying glass since the Feds shut it down last year. Ask anyone going through training, it's a mess.

I agree. Every new hire class at every airline has people with varying abilities and effort. Some don't pass and that may mean the system is working.
I think this situation is so extreme to so many of us here because I can think of maybe two people in the hundreds of us leading up to 2014 who have ever busted an oral... and that wasn't because we were all sharp. It had much more to do with pass them fast because we have a slot burning up time with their name on it.

Some maintaining of a little perspective might be nice, once in a while. This individual's bust had very little to do with the training department. As a matter of fact, the May class got managed to get through with no issues in the oral, most of whom exceeded expectations...and some of whom are still available helping the new class. Since everyone is throwing about speculation on this instance, try this one on for size...the individual showed up with a type already, didn't put in the effort required and was subsequently smacked about. One of the newest guys in the training department would be loathe to send forward a new hire ill equipped for that oral, particularly since he knew the evaluator and knew what was required.
Perspective? 8 months to get people through (perfect storm?) due to years of relying on Pan Am (1 sim now), FAA mandated shut down, senior check airmen quitting, constant turnover of training staff, (including the director), new check airmen just upgrading to captain. Nothing to see here folks,...

So, the base bid closed 9am Friday Vegas time....thought the results would be posted by now. Guess the 'manual process' will take some time, and about what, 3 iterations to get right?
