It doesn't help that the college is woefully short of instructors. The Airports side is something like 13 or 14 short! What does Management expect to happen to the standards there when the instructors are getting stretched further and further to cover an ever increasing workload?

The courses are shortend resulting in students having to do five or six runs a day, back to back. People wonder why there's such a high failure rate but the guys are simply burnt out. The instructors are then expected to do all the extraneous duties having spent the entire working day in the sims!

There's no slack in the system to allow for even the shortest bout of sickness either student or instructor. Medical recourses are common because runs can't be caught up or runs are cancelled because there is no slack in the instructor numbers.

Overstretched instructors training overstreteched students.
