For me, the militant ex-airforce mentality Check and Training Captains left me totally disillusioned about the airline industry.
Destroyed my whole flying career, not because I did anything wrong, but because they could not handle certain fundamental thruths like 'non military pilots can actually fly just as well, if not better, than airforce pilots.
The shareholders loves putting them in management positions because any different thinking (the 'enemy') is crushed with excessife force and inappropriate forms (aka military style) punishment.
In my view, the very reason why the airline industry has become so sic and distorted. The real problems are not being addressed, just suppressed, and the shareholders are loving it while the circus goes on.
Time for the old school of thinking to go on retirement, modern aircraft crew do not need to have flown in wars as a pre-requisite to being a good airline pilot. Those days are long gone !! A new mamagement style is needed desperately !!
