Why do you find it necessary to spice up your posts with bullsh1t.
Oh I get it........... that is 6 inches eh?
Think you might be missing the point of this thread. As far as I know the Rapid command advertisement only specifically applies to the CLASSIC freighter. I do not know of any 49ers who are doing a course on the classic. Could be wrong though and please correct me (as I know you will). The pass rate on the classic is the worst in the company full stop. Does not matter whether it is 67.5% or 45.6% it is definitely worse than 90%.
As for the 400. There is a a defacto rapid command going on there as well. This is a little more successful. I know of several successful candidates who have been with the company in and around 2 years. So compared with 10 years that is rather "RAPID". Then the successful Captain gets to go and fly for the same as PAX FO and work more days away from home !! Lucky Lucky.
On the upside things are slowly improving. As people adjust to the new command candidate interviews, the training department brings more trainers online, and they are starting to take notice of the "known quantites" within the C+T ranks.
