The charter airline probably thought that you were not going to be able to follow the progression in their program as put in their syllabus. That is why FTO:s, that have pre training tests, screen out applicants to ensure that you will succeed without extra training etc, which put a lot of strain and extra work on the organisation. Why shall an FTO put a lot of effort to get you through when they can find people who wont? Just compare this to the airforce. Same way of thinking there. Of course there will be a few mistakes but after almost 6 years in the training business I know that the aptitude tests work VERY well and that in 99% of the cases the results from these tests match perfect to the performance of the student...
