I think the recruiters are more so going for guys that have recommendations. The emails with class dates are just to grab your attention. There are plenty of people who haven't even heard back following up on those emails. And most people are passing SIM. Most guys here have 135/121 time. And 95% of flight instructors I know with even less than 1500 hrs have gotten through 121 training so what are you talking about struggle to get through.

A 1 out of 20 is a HUGE washout rate. That's means 1 guy on the average out of every class is not going to make it out to the line. That would haunt that guy for the rest of his life. Is that guy going to be you? Is it worth putting your entire career on the line because there is a 1 in 20 chance you get dropped by your first airline because you plainly just didn't have the experience?

Some, very few, are not cut out I agree. But some just are not ready for the jump. And Mesa seems to not care whether they are ready or not. A smaller screening process not only could help the company, but the applicant as well.

We've had plenty of 1500 hour 172 instructors that passed. If others come in and have weak ifr skills or whatever else, that's their problem. They showed up unprepared, and they didn't put in the work. For less less experienced, it may be necessary to study during every free hour during training. There are plenty of materials available, and every group I've seen through phx has been willing to go to great lengths to help each other be successful.

You can expect -10% for personal bailouts/other jobs/wanted for crimes.
You can expect -15% for failure to perform at any point (usually sim/ioe).
A class of 20 can expect to finish with 15-17. I will add that the training dept. is top knotch. Everybody has a chance however they will not teach you how to fly an airplane on instruments.
