A300Man although your comments are valid and above all respectable, please understand that not all are who they seem to be here at Pprune.
The cloak of anonymity is a great tool for those who have a hidden agenda or just want to spread malicious rumours. I think that is what ia1166 is reacting to. Besides he is talking from a position of insider knowledge as he is a trainer and has first hand experience from the training department.
I too have never heard such an incident and can assure you from what I know that the training department has a mixed bag of trainers, both local and expat who work together with a common objective. As one would expect the experience level is mixed and some trainers are better than others but that cannot in anyway imply that they operate outside the guidelines of training.
