This is a horrifying example of the acceptance that basic training made up of SOPs and dogma without airmanship involved at all are the norm. No trainee aviator should ever be permitted to have slumped into such a supine mindset before being allowed to transition onto a 'new aircraft'. Indeed, they should never have ben permitted to graduate from the previous one!
This is simply the root of what so many modern accidents are made of.
