As an instructor, I had learned from the Colgan accident, and made sure my students knew how to recover from a stall. Imagine my surprise when as a new hire, I was criticised for losing too much altitude when I pushed the nose down. I thought it was pretty stupid, but wasn't about to start an argument with a check airman.
