Payscale I think you did not get what I meant perhaps I should have been clearer. BYMONEK explained it very well, everyone goes into the sim knowing EXACTLY what they are going to get and in what order after getting the For Tre Only notes. This is no way to judge if a pilot is suitable for upgrade and is being proved in the Airbus failure rate.
The pass rate for the recurrent PPC looks good on paper and the training management give themselves a big pat on the back for it but when it comes to preparing and judging if someone is suitable for command it's just not realistic. To put a pilot forward they should be almost certain the pilot will pass but at the moment that's just not the case and it needs to change or we will keep having this crazy situation like a recent course where 7 out of 8 failed.
