Yep, there is an absolute toxic training methodology in some airlines. Train by Checking. Sorry, that should be Train by Pendantic checking.
We have a great country, and great people. But aviation here is ferked thanks to a useless regulator (who know little about practical aviation), weak management (who seem not to want to deal with bullies), and the dreadful attitude of fellow pilots (who are focused solely on themselves). And how many unions? All fighting.
