The "most civvy FI's wouldn't last a day" kind of attitude...
Actually, that came from a very experienced ex-CFS waterfront bod now working as a FIC examiner. He confided that the
average civil FI's' standards were 'shockingly bad'. I was quite surprised by that, but he assured me that it was true.
I'm also reminded of the experienced ex-BSS pilot who, when doing his 'assessment' trip with some civvy contractor, actually had to take control from the 'assessor' so bad were the assessor's flying standards.
The CFS check for safety in teaching air cadets is nothing like the QFI categorisation scheme.
