BurDubaiBob,
I don't know what you are talking about with the "simulator crashes" BUT even then the Chief Pilot as far as I know is not the responsible for training...
There is a Head of Training who should take action in this case and if not the Chief Pilot can not be blame for that OR you mean that the Head of Training has no power AND then the situation is really bad in the company....
The new Chief Pilot will be there in June so we will see if things will change BUT I doubt it.
What about the TRE ? If he disagrees with the decision taken he should do something about it...
In this case I would have offer my resignation or at least try to get a group of trainers with me to protest about it....
Trainers should also take their responsibilities , if they disagree with what is done they should say it and react.
What are we waiting for ? an incident or worse an accident....
