We had an F/E who tried to upgrade to the right seat multiple times. She was a nice lady who could fly the sim to standard but couldn't get through IOE. Tried both the 72 and the 75. Tons of extra training. The company let her stay as an F/E until the job went away, when she retired. Our contract spells out what happens when you fail training. You just need to qualify for the previous seat and you'll stay on the list. There is a contractual protocol to follow for training failures that theoretically could result in termination. I'm not sure I've ever heard of that but wouldn't be surprised if it happened once in a while.
