The EK training department never fully embraced the concept of imparting knowledge ie teaching. There were quite a few excellent TREs, I’m sure they’ve all been shown the door by now. Excellent TRIs were more sparse, which is where you actually need the enthusiastic teachers. You can take a B1900 pilot and transition them to 747s within an allotted syllabus time with a good trainer that are permitted by the system to teach and are encouraged to share tips/tricks/technique IN ADDITION to SOP. Happens all the time in the States. Unfortunately at EK it was always the line Captains that actually had to teach new hires how to REALLY fly the plane, because the training department couldn’t be bothered.
