Aside from TommyLee's "lawyer" explanation, you may fail a written because you sleep in class, spend too much time texting, read a novel while sitting next to an instructor, argue with the instructors, or even try to cheat on a test. Leave your cell phone off, read the material they give you, stay awake and listen, keep your eyes on you own paper, and you will probably do fine.
A lawyer would probably say, the above paragraph is not to imply the aforementioned statements are the reasons for the failures associated with that class but to offer other reasons why certain individuals do not succeed while engaged in airline training.

Its sad how the last 15 of 20 pages of this thread deal with the training department. In a way you must give them credit for not lowering standards,but it doesnt mean sending half the classes home for correctable training errors. It seems as though its easier for them to take the cheaper route rather than to work and help pilots meet the high expectations that are given.
