Take a look at the Dominican's tone. He's trying to tell you something.
The Japanese don't take well to the Bull in a China shop approach. Ask a lot of the guys who've been shown the door (permanently) during the training.
Take it easy, don't let your feather's get ruffled by an perceived slights on your ability, experience or qualifications.
This is Japan, things are done differently, and it's their trainset. Fight them and it will be very difficult for you. Bend with the wind, adapt to the system and it will prove to be a lot easier and more pleasant. Especially true for those FO candidates, who hope to get through and eventually get the upgrade. I know, been there done that. Have the scars on my forehead from bashing my head against the brick wall.
This is meant as positive info, not criticism.
Good luck to all the pilots under training now.
