You won't find many civil FIs bragging that they chopped someone - and remember that there is no such thing as a bad student, but there are many bad QFIs! Take that as you will, Arters!
Well Beags, I'm not quite sure whether your tongue is in your cheek or in full flow here. Having heard that statement for real from the mouth of an AOC in a crew room full of studes and QFI's and seen what effect it had on the QFI's I hope its the cheek. I was perhaps a little blunt in the use of chopped, there was no pleasure in the act but I have no regrets at the outcome. If you have no standards and equally do not give someone the teeth to maintain them then all is lost.
