CNN Reports 10 of 49 fail test

CNN is reporting that of the 49 TransAsia pilots the TCAA have tested, 10 of those have failed the oral exam and will need retraining before they are allowed back into the cockpit. The 39 who did pass will also have to undergo a simulator test session. There are also 19 other pilots who have yet to undergo the tests.

Not sure what it says about the airline when over 20% of your pilots (with an average of 6,900 hours) can't pass an oral exam but it sure can't be good.
