Subjective argument.If pedantic is taken as meaning giving excessive attention to detail,I stand by my original statements.The example of the thumbwheel several posts earlier is a good example of pedantry and facetiousness.It doesnt belong in the cockpit.Furthermore,and this is the crux of the whole thing,the idea that pedantry will somehow result in a higher degree of safety is a misnomer.It wont necessarily do so.
Apriana,
You had two instructors;one good,one not so good.Neither were pedantic.
