"Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Everyone is taught from the same syllabus, everyone knows what they need to be briefed on (WX and NOTAMs to name 2), so WTF is it "someone else's" fault when they fail to do it?"
If you havent been trained properly, not surprisingly you might want to blame the trainer.
Seems odd that if a number of people are saying they werent trained where to find this information, and how to disseminate the information in a user freindly way, instructors wouldnt want to sit up and take note.
It also seems odd when you would hope the bi-annual is there to keep pilots "within the system" that examiners would also not want to sit up and take note.
Turn your post around. The training industry can go on ignoring the problems and complaining it should all be down to personal responsibility when someone forgot to mention at the last bi-annual you should watch your speed a bit more closely on late final because you are risky "stalling in".
