This is for YOUR benefit
Recently one was involved in a training "event" that resulted in good marks and an adequate write up.
I came away from my two days in the sim with more "techniques" disguised as procedures ringing in my ears than I have had hot dinners. "This is for YOUR benefit" seemed to be the stock standard response if when being shown something that was clearly designed by the training person to show how much more they know than I...when I would respond, "but why?" Or "that merely complicates something that was complicated enough to begin with"
I've been genuinely heartened through recent phases that the standard of "training" has evolved from a Neanderthal inspired series of Apollo 13 rehearsals, into a much more practical and inclusive expose of the knowledge and understanding that it is deemed we require.
Now it seems that old habits do die hard and infact certain individuals are slowly reverting to type.
Am I being unfair fellow EK brethren? Or maybe I'm just a sensitive soul?
