There is no doubt pressure on part 141 Training Organizations to pass recurrent trainees, irrespective of the competency attained. A recurrent course costs about $25K USD. There is commercial pressure on the training provider to pass the trainee because the customer has invested a lot of money, and they are likely to go somewhere else next year if they fail their sim check. I have seen many recurrent trainees pass a sim check that would not even meet the competency standard of a basic license.
