Perhaps some analysis of the current training "budget" in relation to new intake pilots regarding the modification or fine tuning of the training programme to suit the current intake of candidates would be beneficial. The current training seems to be aimed at pilots with high time and current experience. Many coming into the company do not fit this profile and are struggling in some areas of the training. Training should, where possible, cater for individual differences.
It seems that the philosophy of one size fits all is incorporated in the design of the initial training and it is a real pressure cooker environment. This is fine for the Checking process but not for training. The experience level and backgrounds of the new intakes is widely varied probably more than ever before, hence the need for a little flexibility and tuning of initial training to suit the current environment.
I agree with Krusty that the cadets entering the REX training system as it is at present will be interesting. My comments are not meant as criticism but as constructive observation.
