I’m a little sceptical as I believe it’s the professionalism of the instructor (and the boss) that determines the standard of instruction and that has nothing to do with it being a RF or an FTO.
Looking at the comments made on not teaching sort field take offs/leaning/alternator failure etc I can’t see for one second how the changes that are coming will address any of those points made.
What does concern me is history and when they forced MEP training to be conducted at FTOs it in my opinion did nothing for the standard of MEP training. All it did was increase costs and reduced availability.
