Matthew - I hear what you are saying and agree with you in general. However I believe that times are changing due t the now cronic shortage of instructors (today a colleague announced he's virtually got into OATS for example). If I, and my fellow instructors draw a line in the sand to management then they are in no position to argue. In the past we probably would have been booted out the door but with nobody applying to take our place that isn't an option any more.
