Go for 5 get 3
I'm afraid I have to disagree with that statement about it being a numbers game at ATTSC (CATC). There are tens of students on holdover at the moment, some on six months holdover, to enable them to get on to a course. They have not been chopped to provide the correct numbers!
This just adds further to the lie!!!!, look at the past stats for validations on area 2 courses, start at say course 104 ish. Is the pattern not very similar ie. number of people succesfully completing area 2 almost identical each time. Perhaps CATC doesn't have a numbers game but LATCC dictated to them how many they could accept which thus dictated how many could pass.
You may not be aware but it was blindingly obvious to us students on the receiveing end, that our numbers were MOULDED to fit subsequent courses. HOLDING is just an escape route for not having to fail too many people as this would obviously have looked bad for management.
Take the example of 105 or 106 course I cant quite remember but think it was the latter. An incoming Dutch course could not be run because it was short of ACPO's (blip drivers) - solution : fail that number of people and train them for the job. THIS HAPPENED it is not fiction, and they weren't just held for three months, it was six months before they got their recourse.
The whole place reeks of bad management, what amazes me is that most if not all are still there. Why has the airline group not been in there to flush out the dead wood. How FH still justifies being paid a large salary is beyond me!!!
Do other people lucky to have made it out alive not have anything to add!!!
