Thumbs down Seen it all!!!

43 may have a good rep out there but on the ground things are not that pretty. Personal insecurities may play a part in how persons react. SA might have its history but why does a kenyan get to be drawn in it.
What's the ideal situation when an airline assigns you some students to train? YOU SIMPLY TRAIN THEM - within acceptable limits of course, not intimidate them till they are so scared to fly. Do this OR ELSE .... doesnt wash. You cannot play the comapny against the students. That's not an ideal environment for students to fly.

Where else does an instructor tell you that your flying is ok but recommends something else to the CFI?

Is being two faced acceptable in this career?

And can a senior Instructor judge your flying without actually flying with you?

Isnt there a limit on how many instructors a student may have in a stage?

Is an instructor for almost every other lesson acceptable?

Arent prejudices based on colour best kept to oneself and lessons simply administered regardless?

On second thought do those prejudices disqualify an instructor from administering the lessons?

Is it possible for two different instructors to have differing opinions on a student's ability to fly - (one has no problem and the other is disgruntled)?
Whose opinion counts in the end if the student agrees with the former(majority rule!! Ha!)?

If there needs to be a third opinion who should be billed for the flight?

If the third opinion agrees with the former can we conclude that the latter is biased?

Is it fair for instructors to build hours at a student's cost since he's company sponsored and doesnt pay for them personally - 'read redo lessons unnecessarily'?

Can you unlearn flying?

If a student has this many solo hours and is this good can he 'slip' suddenly?

Do you need to wash students to 'show how high your standards are'?

Arent standards judged by how good those who make it through are but not simply how many make it through?

Can a student judge his flying from comaprison with others at the same stage - 'pax'?

Shouldnt one be told why he is washed?

Can the indefensible still be defended?
