Whether you pass the assesment at RYR has nothing to do with pilot prep and skill, just see the poster above, 15 min sim with it broken and he still passed, do you really think they had time to assess anything?
They take absolute morons with no skills whatsoever but are fresh out of flightschool and younger tan 20 that are prone to follow orders without complaining. Thats the only thing they care about. If you show any kind of life experience and self initiative that shows determination and self management you are not going to pass.
Yes, they will hire someone in their thirties here and there but that is the exception.
The Upilot sim has no feedback momentarily, but pretty much like the simtech sim. Both are harder to handle tan the RYR sim, so if you handle those one nicely you will handle the RYR well but like i said the RYR assesment has nothing to do with skill or knowledge.
Not because you passed the cadet assesment you are a good pilot, you probably only are a good button pusher and mindless SOP follower. Thats it.
Another thing is if you passed the DEP or CPt assesment, the pass rate over there is legit and the assesments are done by actual LTC´s not some 70 year olds that want to go home at 5 o clock.
