Sim, but one person washed on the oral.

That is not bad given the fact there was quit a lot of very low timers... However, flight time is not everything though!

The Jets train in a level IV SIM and the first time they see the aircraft passengers are boarding!!!

FYI, when I went through Eagle, my entire new hire check ride ( SF34) was in the sim based on my quals. Others in my class had to do the aircraft check based on their quals.

Nothing to do with the sim.

"Washing out" is not quitting. If they are lucky, the company will give them the opportunity to turn in their resignation or they will be fired.

Nobody quit and guys I think it's ESL which is why you cant understand him well. The two that washed had between 600-1k plus of hours. Hours isn't everything if you can't fly instruments.

Especially when you mentioned that one washed out after the oral. That is just poor study and preparation by that person.
