Thank you mrglass. Very helpful indeed. I had been hearing horror stories of half the attendees being cut by lunchtime, for no apparent reason. So it's nice to have some hope!
I sincerely hope that CTC are willing to put all candidates that meet the expected standards through, and aren't simply filling quotas based on sim availability and type rating dates. That was what I was being lead to believe, but hopefully not the case.
I think the no feedback policy though is a disgrace in a professional flight training environment. The least that could be done for those who are sent home would be a generic email saying the areas of the test where they didn't make the grade. Aren't we all for progression and improvement through training? *Sigh* I doubt anything will change soon, so thanks for the heads up anyway.
