Any confirmation about this rumours ?
Who gives interviews now ?
Upgrade failure rate above 10 % would demonstrate the weakness of EK general pilot performance, a direct consequence of poor recruitment and/or poor training (supposed to rise up and keep up the level, not the opposite).
Instructors credibility is now based on how much guys they fail.
Stars on shoulders meaning "License to kill" like sheriff in Texas.
Because of this !!!!! and due to open war between Fleet dep and Training dep, some cleaning in our "Training" Department is to be expected soon.
Hope some nasty heads will roll down.
