Being a bit of a jackass no ?
CnT's at CX have been for 15 years minimum raising concerns about the decreasing standards and abilities they observe every day of the week.
This is not new, I know many of them and they, among trainers at every level, are as frustrated a bunch as you have ever met.
Many still try, many have resigned in total frustration and many still fight on and do the best they can however, scuttlebutt indicates this may be coming to an end.
The real issue here is the upper level cowards (sycophants) they now call "leadership". They are 100% aware of this phenomenon and have (some only to eagerly) bent over and accepted the dictates of Swire pilot managers (leaders) and their accompanying spreadsheet geeks.
The concerns of the CnT's have been summarily ignored by the sheep on the 3rd floor and we now have the situation we have.
The list of those who have enabled this is is very long. The past and current GMF's come to mind , GL the Boeing hero and his GMO bud, RH (say no more), Airbus Training "leader" DH (say no more and gone thank God) and near the top would be AW, CC and a sprinkle of ex GMA's etc,etc.etc.
All this has led CX to where it is now and if you want the worst scare of your life, simply take a look at what/who "operation altitude" has placed in the top training positions as it sits now (think PC) and don't forget to include DFO at the top. From this current situation, you can bet your bottom dollar that it aint over yet..
If you compare the standards/experience levels of 25 years ago to those deployed in our cockpits today, you should rightfully shudder in dismay at the discovery. And as well, make absolutely no mistake about it, this has for the entire time been 100% engineered by our "Senior (Swire) Leadership", enabled by the 3'rd floor sheep and overseen by an emasculated and ineffective bordering incompetent CAD.
That which you knew 25 years ago is long over.
