Been hearing alot about the high failure rates at recent flight gradings
(compared to a few years ago), some classes with up to 1/3 or even 1/2 fails?

Anyone fathom a guess as to why this is happening? I know they shortened the
grading to 4 flights for basics, but I would've thought FTA would lower the
standards to accommodate for the change?

Perhaps anyone who recently did Flight Grading can give some insight, but it
seems like either FTA has decided to mark alot harder, or cathay is using flight
grading to cut out alot of people (maybe because too many are getting through
the new simplified process)?

PS: if cathay hr is using the flight grading as a major cut off point, seems like
very inefficient use of resources...
