Concerning the upgrade failures there is a lot of smog on the numbers.
Listening to the guys coming back with a failure does not uphold the official numbers (by management dudes on this forum), although their view is slightly impaired by their fate, I agree.
Nevertheless the stories are mainly backed up by fo's who did assists in the sim.
Concerning the rosters on the 330, anyone accepting a course on the 330 must be desperate. The truth lies in the rosters of the 330.
Just go on the portal and see for yourself.

I do share your outlook and to a certain degree your comment:
Glofish, I would think that if someone has experience, airmanship and commonsense, they will not have any problem with the upgrade course. EK has plenty of Captains that finished the course successfully, this would seem to prove the point.
But then I read the weekly reports .....
Either there is a problem in recruiting, or the beating out of airmenship is very successful!
It is appalling at times.
