It does, though. Why should Dash be punished for Lightning's terrible decisions?

That's irrelevant here. All of those episodes came after "Wonderbolts Academy" anyway.

Are you even reading my comments? I already explained Dash was barely keeping pace. Any slower and she would have been separated from LD.

There is when you ignore the pleas of your partner and she gets injured as a result.

How about instead of continuously repeating the same thing, you give an actual argument? They didn't just "jostle" them; the entire class got thrown off the course because Lightning just had to speed through it, even though that wasn't the goal of the exercise and Spitfire had specifically told them not to. That's is most definitely a serious problem.

She wasn't timing to see who was fastest; that was just a further means of gauging how well the ponies in each pair are working with each other. Although making it through the course in a reasonable amount of time is a plus, it's not the main focus of the exercise. Spitfire explained clearly to them that the key of the obstacle course is to work on precision flying.

They were already far in lead. A tornado was absolutely unnecessary to placome in first or to impress Spitfire.

Last I checked, not all pegasi are Wonderbolts.

If LD thinks she can get by with her "me first" mentality, then she clearly has no idea what the Wonderbolts are all about.

She focusing only on herself at the expense of everyone else. That the exact opposite of being a Wonderbolt.
[bq]
> No, she did not. Instead of even trying to work with her and help her to improve she humiliated and expelled her for the behaviour she encouraged all the time until it became inconvenient. If Dusty had a better captain she would have become a great Wonderbolt.[/bq]
I won't deny Spitfire also made some poor choices, but Lightning clearly wasn't pulling her own weight either. After all, the program worked fine for everypony else.

You're making a lot of assumptions here. It's entirely possible she distanced herself from others and refused to accept any outside help. This might have also made it difficult for somepony to get a hold of her. I mean, "Wonderbolts Academy" was all about how strong-willed and independent she was.
