I couldn't agree more - I'm just observing what seems to be happening in certain European schools and suggesting an explanation as to why someone is being taught what most here are agreeing is an incorrect technique for landing a warrior.
Personally I think if we are going to put folks into the RHS of a jet airliner with a couple of hundred hours or so, they should never be let anywhere near a light aircraft - we need to use all those hours to teach them what is actually relevant to the job they are ultimately going to be doing.
