Who could forget the time the CFO in NZ turned the internet off at Clearways without telling anyone, saying "You are here to study, not to surf the internet."
Neglecting to realise, of course, that doing so cut off access to Tracker and the NZ weather service, both of which were pretty essential for study and flight planning purposes. Going in for early flights with a blank PLOG and virtually no planning done due to lack of internet access and having to explain the reasons to unsympathetic ops staff was a low point...

Like I said in an earlier post I'll always defend their standard of training, but this sort of thing is where CTC let themselves down. I understand the problems, I was as frustrated as anyone when the internet repeatedly broke due to people going OTT on BitTorrent, but their response to things like this usually consists of wield sledgehammer first, ask questions later.
