Please pull your heads out of the sand and try not to be so blindly guided by utter gibberish.
I received my info second hand and was unable to verify the number of sims and sectors, which is why I invited input from JQ trainers. I did not attack the JQ pilots but made observations about potential pitfalls if there was only six sectors during command training. We are all aware of the swiss cheese model and I, like every pilot, don't want the holes to line up.

Most stories relayed by pilots are the "juicy" ones and it sounds like your mate has flown with a couple of captains who haven't displayed normal people skills by "treating him like an idiot" and having no interest in crew members previous experience/qualifications. Every airline has its share of pilots like this but from my experience in QF, these guys are in the very small minority. By the tone of your remarks, it sounds like your view of QF pilots has been tainted by these stories - a shame because it's not a true assessment.
