1. Difficult to prove.
2. Would you want to be the non-pilot judge to tell an airline they ought to LOWER their standard for certifying their pilots? Knowing you’ve now just bought every ops related mishap that airline has for the next 40 years?

Have a friend fail training at an airline because the instructor didn’t like him (personalities didn’t mix). Had to get the union, training dept, and management involved for the issue. Obviously, nothing came about it at the end of the day, but a return ticket home. Dude is the hardest work I know.

He wasn’t failed to keep him there longer, but I guess things like this do happen.

JC over at PSA is infamous for his shenanigans. He’s lost his APD letter at least once. I made it through clean but that place is known for dirtying up mil guys (and not just rotorheads)

I mean anyone who ever did any instruction knows that if your goal is to fail someone, you almost certainly can find a valid reason no matter how prepared they are. It's just a matter of digging until you find a weak area then hammering until they trip up. It's a truly scummy thing to do, especially since in this industry you either have a perfect record or are damaged goods.

I've known a few instructors who started treating evaluations like their opportunity to make the applicant feel like an idiot, but I've been lucky enough to avoid that kind of personality at the airlines.

But the way things are looking doubt it will make much difference
Just a directive from head of training

Can't go on record for something like that, it would be verbal on the DL for sure (if it ever happened).

Ask a senior captain about the Memphis Mafia.

You'd think, since regionals like to keep their pilot groups junior as to keep payroll costs low, they wouldn't be so inclined to sabotage ones chance of moving on.

A constant revolving door keeps the pilots from getting too expensive. Seems like that's what the regional business model is about. Idk. Maybe I'm wrong.

‘The game has changed….. Can’t move airplanes with Captains and pilots especially if they are getting sucked up by your competition faster than you can replace them without throwing money at Bonuses…. the next best option is to control the exodus with down low hit jobs….
