Commander1 you poor sweet,
I have never worked for FR and will never be applying to them either. The instructors sound like they need a good kick up the arse and if you decide to leave i think thats what you should do
The instructors should be there to help you aswel as teach you, because they are unapprochable and unfriendly, it puts more pressure on you therefore you worry more about failing.
Training courses are hard going, especially if you have flown for another airline cause you have to get new drills and procedures in your head and not mix them up with the old ones.
I am with my forth airline now The training course with my current airline was fine, not to difficult, 90% pass mark. However the course for my first airline was hard work....We had drills for everything, and the crash and ditching drill had to be word perfect, and we had to write drills for no1 crew, 2, 3, and crew no4, it used to take about an hour. We also had 3 aircraft types to learn, all in 4 weeks
We had a friendly instructor though, so we all go through with no re-sits
Seriously though Commander, You will make yourself ill with all the worry and its not worth if, especially for FR!
