With 26 years in civil aviation, may I wholeheartedly endorse your comments, though my slightly more graphic remarks yesterday evening obviously offended the mod(s) and were excised!!!
There are too many 'trainers' out there who vary from being an irritation during OPC/LPC checks to those who are positively dangerous, leaving ordinary capable line dogs demoralized and sometimes confused on points of technique or procedure.
How often have I heard the question " WHO told you THAT?" etc etc
And some in these fora have the effrontery to criticise other cultures' training regimes whils the most appalling rubbish gets pushed in EASA supervised & approved airlines!
