5 green, I am having trouble working out what we're in dispute about. Having been sin-binned myself due a personal conflict with one of the senior management I am fairly confident in my opinions.
The vast majority of C & T's are excellent with a few that don't cut the mustard. These are few enough that your right to request an instructor change covers them (I am not a trainer). With a few retirements looming I hope the Star Chamber will soon be a thing of the past.
Yes, you're perfectly entitled to your opinion
"And I am sure that you politely taught them to do it correctly.
It is not about passing "in the long run".No pilot I know goes into their command or JFO without doing the work. It is about a system with no checks and balances."
And yes, I did teach them politely to do it correctly. Its part of the free training that CX gets from its line Captains. I know of several pilots who have gone for upgrades or commands thinking they know it all and unsurprisingly have failed. I also know others who have been screwed by the Star Chamber and they have all passed on their next attempt.
As for a system with no checks and balances, it seems to me that there are plenty of checks but possibly not yet enough balances.
