Sorry ADM I'm not BA, I joined ej by choice with time on type. My observations are based on my perception of the training from my numerous safety duties and speaking to other crew - captains and FOs - compared to other places I've worked.
Although I'm sure the vast majority of individual trainers put in 110% to support the trainees, the system as a whole has a decidedly mass-production approach which leads to people doing things because they were told to, without knowing why they do it. Why else do we have these new be-safe (and dumb) calls creeping in?
There's also a very real pressure on cadets to clear in only 44 sectors or potentially face the chop - with a 100k+ loan. It's all well and good to be told you'll get as much training as you need but 1) it doesn't always happen and 2) it still will feel like a personal failure to go over quota.
