Rumor has it we had another failure last week, any confirmations from other K4 folks on the sight?

We have a couple check airmen who are politically connected and quite frankly shouldn't be there. These individuals have a higher failure rate than the other instructors. Either they don't understand what PIRA means or they don't care. A training survey went out to the pilot group and the results apparently addressed this. What happens next? I'm sure it'll be window dressing.

For the what gives, culture is what I think gives.
