OK I will be the first to bite!
If you (or the unnamed person you are quoting) are trying to be funny, then you are failing. If you are serious then you are totally out of order!
You do not have to fail anything to finish up on Hercs. Yes, some have had a rocky road through flying training, but others have made the grade all the way through and been selected as more suitable for the multi-engine role. Many are slow starters and some who have been given the benefit of the doubt early on have progressed to become excellent captains.
I, like many others over the years, never failed anything, but was not good enough to go fast-jet - thank goodness! - and am still here to tell the tale.
Edit: the second to bite!
