Are you shocked by release of the training information?
The first officer reported that he had attempted previously to upgrade to captain. After two unsatisfactory attempts, however, he elected to return to the first officer seat. Air Canada records showed that on February 6 and 7, 2017, the first officer had passed his command LOE training. On March 1, 2017, he had an unsatisfactory on his QOE27 and a second unsatisfactory QOE on March 16, 2017.
According to the simulator instructors and checkairmen that conducted the incident first officer’s upgrade attempt, the reason for the unsatisfactory upgrade was the first officer’s lack of situational awareness, failure to correctly identify a mandatory altitude on an arrival, non-precision approaches, and a lack of performance to the Transport Canada required performance standards. Some of the instructors and checkairmen categorized the incident first officer as “nervous” and “a weak candidate.”
Or release of the lifestyle information?

Don't know how they do it in other countries but this seems to be pretty standard fare in the human performance section of an NTSB docket.
