Last visit it was very obvious many of the instructors had issues with the new man in charge and the way they were now supposed to do things.
Ground school was still useful and I thought well presented.
Sim sessions were similar except for countless 'beware of this on your check ride as he doesn't agree with the way we used to teach it'.
Check ride with the Italian Import was a totally unprofessional experience. From brief to de-brief.
A simulator session should teach, clarify and test.
One should return feeling you have gained from the experience; you are better equipped to tackle any emergences; had any bad habits chastised; gained the latest official and un-official information from Manufacturers and Operators; and leave with a quiet confidence you are a better pilot than when you walked in.
You should not leave feeling frustrated, de-moralised and vowing never to return.
I have others with similar experiences.
