Is training AQP, and if not, how is training quality/washout rate.
We have hired and we hire people with 121 failures, but they need to be explainable. The people interviewing you need to know you'll be trainable, not a liability, etc.
One or two people don't make it through in each class. That comes to around 5% that don't reach the line. An additional fraction need extra sims or retries on their type ride.
Generally we arent a pink-slip factory. If I was going to point out one thing wrong with the training it's that the curricula are built for people coming with years of acmi experience rather than who we are hiring. So theres a lot of initiative you have to take in order to be prepared. Still, there's a defined course, defined standards and controlled references. Read the stuff in the manuals, regurgitate it then fly the profiles in the sim. No big whoop. Keep perspective, get plenty of sleep and don't let a screamer or two get under your skin.
If you got rattled at your last shop, figure out what's going on inside you and address those issues.
