Just to say thanks to all you who put in feedback to this post. From some of the posts, I can see some probable causes of the rumoured poor performances in ADL. I'm not sure if the selection process has anything to do with it, but I think that management is placing too much emphasis on how smart and intelligent their recruits are, and not enough on how enthusiastic their recruits are. We are all born differently and admittedly, some are smarter than others. Though I really do think that hardwork inspired by enthusiasm and interest in aviation can, and ultimately will, make up for it. I don't mean to hire really dumb people, but management should really place more emphasis on interest. This is what I think, please feel free to disagree!!!!!!
