One thing that I don't get about this whole argument is that several instructors have posted that the pass rate was high for DEC's, I think it was mentioned that around a 20% failure rate? So 8 out of 10 DEC's pass their training and are currently on the line, if that is the case then in comparison to the pass rate of other companies that are hiring DEC's the program at EK has been a success. 80% pass rate is pretty good actually, far from being the disaster some are characterizing it as, so why wouldn't they implement a policy that has been very successful for them in the past.
