Pushtu, I don't know you but you seem bitter. You didn't fail to get through the door did you..............
Now Mr Manx, or *****. You have given Atlantic a real bashing, but without relying on rumour, hearsay and speculation let's put into perspective the reasons why you feel so bitter.
You can obviously fly, you have a PPL, but commercial flying is a different matter. You where quite happy when you had a good flight and the instructor was ok. You had a bad flight and He/she was sh*te. You changed instructors. Read previous 2 sentences again.
Like a spoilt child you whinged and whined your way through all the available instructors until there were none left to pander to your inate superiority.
The fuglies (cadets) work very hard here. They are slaves to the cause, but ask them if they would do it again and the answer will be an resounding yes. They realise that they are getting a great deal. Just look at what they have that you don't. Commitment, stamina, sense of humour and above all commercial piloting skills.
The 50/50 scheme has achieved what it set out to do, but unfortunately the there had to be a more tightly bound set of standards to achieve and maintain. Those that have made it through, and those still going through will be fine. Their costs were halved and their employment opportunities will be far greater than those that go it alone.
*****, I am afraid that even with the backing of your government you just could not cut it. In life you must eccept your limitations with honesty and good grace, but if you can't and you do decide to fling dirt then expect some of it to stick to your fingers.
