Flyhayes.....again you can generalize that s certain schools trains students a certain way. However, you can't fit every instructor into that particular category. You have to judge that person based off of them and not where they went to school. You will have good and bad pilots regardless of where they went to school. You will have students who strive to know nothing more than the checkride and rote knowledge and those that strive to be the best. I strive to be the best which is why when I first joined the military I didn't expect my leadership to teach me everything and I would always study that much harder. It should early on that I knew more than most of the people I worked for. Did this mean I stopped studying and picking more brains? Certainly not! This is the same case with flying. I am constantly reading new books and areas I feel I am weakest I strive to do better in. Does every pilot have the same attitude? No, but that's how I approach everything I do and I think it makes me that much better at everything I do.
