This place sounds like Hell on Earth. Those standing by should be well reminded toxic training cultures can quite comfortably undermine an operator’s safety culture in insidious fashion. Many here would have witnessed this at other operations. I’m surprised ex-mil wouldn’t be well versed considering the hard lessons the RAAF learned through considerable loss of life a few decades ago in training accidents.
A simple test as to whether a training organisation is failing and leaning towards toxic, is the support, mentoring and re-training of a pilot not making the grade. If pre-evaluation of a candidate is perceived or exists, via gossip and cronyism, you don’t need the test. All is lost.
