-Failing to fly the published missed. Not once, but twice after backing the sim up and specifically talking about it.
-Not knowing your callouts. Not just the abnormal ones, but the regular day to day ones.
I can go on, but you get the idea of why people are failing. Training is no more or less hard then it's been. People are getting lazy and complacent.
AQP is getting a bad rap online lately because people are going back to the crewroom and having to explain why they failed when they don't want to tell the truth. Crashing the sim multiple times is not something people will step up and admit. Instead it's "training got harder" or "they're out to get me".

We do need to watch tax reform in Congress to see what they might change in tax treatment for per diem.
