And how come these students eventually pass all tests required to fly as a First Officer for major airlines? Ryanair, Wizzair... and nowadays basically all airlines are in need of "cheap" pilots, who can fund their own training, but what's their battle plan to avert a disaster? Do they trust that the automated airplane will always bring them home? Or that a more senior captain will bring them home in case the flight computers are misbehaving? Or that they eventually learn flying the big jets anyway?
I am asking because airlines, unlike commercial flight schools, don't owe anything to the poorly skilled ATLP applicants, so they could just as well reject them, without any financial consequences.
I must be missing some part of the logic here.
