CX has taken a department that usually serves a simple yet vitally important utilitarian role at most normal airlines and has managed to weaponize and politicize it. At CX "training" is rarely training at all, as enough that can't fly here train, and those that can't train, check. In this regard it is truly a 'you are up there because we are down here airline.' This integral function normally intended for your benefit elsewhere, is often used for their own nefarious reasons ranging from the desperate need for ego enhancement to retribution. There are and have been many exceptions, those that are okay with themselves and want you to succeed, but a disproportionate amount of ready and willing gold plated arses as compared to most companies have always inhabited this department at CX. The damage and destruction done to many careers over the years for frivolous and petty reasons could fill a book. Their antics are one of the most commonly discussed topics enroute.
