160th, not impressed.   

There is plenty to beef at the 160th for, but not being able to fly isn't usually one of them.  One them is they are as bad as ringknockers, they have connections, they don't need a job at your fly by night outfit.

What fine company has such exacting standards that no one can pass?  What is the normal check ride failure rate?  If you are failing 4 out of 5 of anyone on a 135 ride, I would look at the left seat or back of the sim first.  If you failed 4 out 5 min0rites you would get sued but I guess you can get off discriminating against veterans, good for you male (not man).

What kind of training program do you have?  You guys must be real good.  Usually you do something wrong, the instructor says "no, do it this way",  you do it that way and you pass.  Those who can't do, teach.  Those who can't teach, administrate.  Time for administration for you.

This really isn't a mil vs civ thing.  You guys are just d1x.
