The feedback I'm getting is that the sim training is brutal. I'm getting the impression that if the new-hire-trainee busts the final sim ride, his/her chances of ever landing a spot in the pointy end of a commercial airliner are finished. This astounds me. Is there no recourse?

It's not impossible to get another job. Much more difficult, especially with an airline? Yes. There are plenty of companies that would give a guy/gal a second chance. But like I said, not something you want on your record.
