Q-2's are for people who can't make a decision and probably shouldn't be evaluators. You either know what you're doing or you don't. If you know pretty much what you're doing but had some "lapses in judgement" during your checkride...Q-1 with some downgrades.
And there's a reason why they're ATOC and not flyers.
When I was in AMC there was a trend of Copilots whining to Training/DO/Commanders about "So and so has been here less than I have and they're already an AC, how come I'm not?" Because you ing suck, that's why. I think by re instituting PUP at KLTS that will cut down on the trend of shitty people trying to upgrade with their buddies who happen to be their IP on their upgrade sorties.
