I agree with VEC. It is very easy to pass the buck onto a later stage of training. You need to recruit people who have a very good chance of achieving the aims within a tight timescale.
Now, no disrepect to this guy, most people, if you give them enough time will reach the required standard. But, the problem is that they take so long to get there that they clog the training system up and take valuable hours away from other trainees only to get chopped at a very late stage. This is a waste of limited resources.
You have to have a suitable filter system, it has been in use for many years and is a trusted and tried method, however unfair it might seem to some individuals who fall foul.
EF 2020, I wish you the best of luck, I echoe the setiments of others, that you must keep pushing for what you want, don't just roll over and die.
