Generalize, generalise,....What ever!

And I have the feeling too many people on this forum tend to generalize the whole time without knowing what they are talking about.

There are rotten apples in every basket, so unfortunately this is the case for the instructor basket as well, but do not forget the many good ones in that basket as well. Or can those "pilots" constantly spouting criticism on these forums in all honesty say they never came accross a single good instructor in this airline?

One thing I agree with Mr Cooper is the fact that instructors should be given exposure to the entire fleet network. Not only for their own benefit, but training flights should be done to every corner of the network so new joining pilots truly are prepared.

CI has a point as well stating that a professional pilot should be able to adapt to all new routes/destinations whenever the company deploys him there, but releasing pilots to a remote Indian destination during the monsoon season before ever having been there before/MNPS routes/remote area is NOT a good idea!

So in between the usual drivel these forums tend to generate, some good remarks have been made actually. (The generalisation left aside that is)
