Gentlemen -
xxx
I preach proper QFE procedures training (and metric altimeters).
My airline career was 51% instruction and 49% line flying.
So I preach for what provided me with employment and paychecks.

There are airlines that never need a QFE in training. Forget what QFE is.
Then some airlines say "request a QNH, that is it" - and go make a mistake.
Be sure to avoid fat fingers with your pocket calculators.
A 10 minute "mention" of QFE in classrooms is plenty of training.
That is the economic training solution adopted by many nowadays.

And then, there is/were airlines with 8 hrs classroom QFE/Metric training.
I worked and managed training with the last kind of airline mentioned.
Such training was required as per their FOM, for crews operating there.
And some airplanes were fitted with a metric (uncorrected) altimeter.
Such airplanes were required for any airplanes operating in such airspace.
I am certain modern equipment can do even better.
Rant completed.
