Great woke you up from under your bridge...

Nobody is trying to but I’ve made the choice to wait it out.

Terrible was a little dramatic but meaning we are losing good people I’d prefer to spend the rest of my career sharing a seniority list with.

Flying with August new hire, he was great, but told me 70% of his class failed either the oral or the check ride. My class in 2013 there was one pair asking for an extra sim, and no failure. He said a few of these people had been fired from regional initial. We just had a tail-strike on a first ioe flight. This is honestly scaring me because most of them made it to the line, and will eventually upgrade.Very depressing to see...

Someone showed me a pic of the APU area all bent up on a 320. No idea how that happened. I saw the pic like a month ago...

If yes, then how are they able to pass the Aptitude and Psycho Test but fail during training?

Was that new hire or upgrade OE? I've heard conflicting stories.
