Fuse plug! Couldn't agree more!
Unfortunatly all the US guys were labeled because of a small few lazy and vocal guys!
The real truth is that in EK you are expected to have your work done when attending sims or LT. If so you should be given more development. But this expectation of getting your hand held and your ass wiped is ridiculous. It has nothing to do with previous types, it has everything to do with attitude and willingness to work! I have seen US guys from smaller than RJ's and they excel, why, because they have the right attitude and apply themselves.
Those who don't work and consider themselves sky gods always cry the loudest about checking and poor training. It's a minority but a vocal one.. Empty vessels ..etc
