A simple answer to the posters thinking that this program is expensive,
If you are an incompetent Person, There is no way you should in this Profession.
People fail their training because they are incompetent, they don't study enough, lack of manual flying skills, lack of basic airmanship skills, Poor decision making, Lack responsibility and poor attitude.
They assume that if they pay 560K they will be in the right seat.
And when these people fail they cry pprune as you will read the negative posts on this thread.

However, The long term benefits are just too good
