L.T
Most certainly - should have put one of those grinning face thingies next to a lighthearted comment!
But the anomaly is that if one does something different from that which is mandated "in the interests of safety" (as determined by oneself), the fact is that it might well have the opposite effect if it is not what everyone else is doing (e.g. outside the parochial shores of the UK). The point I was making was that if OJTIs are advocating something that is contrary to CAA requirements, ICAO requirements and the expectations of most non-UK pilots, then anybody experiencing this has some responsibility to flag it up as a safety issue.
There - made the point without mentioning the war.
