I was reading some publications the other day on training. They all said "TK" on them. I asked my instructor about that. He said they came from "Training Kingdom."

I said "what's that?"

He said "that's how they thnk" That is the mentality of since it came from the kingdom, it must be right, and it cannot be questioned.

I thought how odd to think that much of your training facility to call it "the kingdom."

Heck, we need to tear down some kingdoms, and stop all the empire building. I see redundant levels of managemnet, multiple layers of management, over-lapping responsibilities. All that "kingdom building" ends up costing line pilot jobs. It's inefficient, confusing, and expensive.
