s10an, there's a profile that instructors follow. You're supposed to be at a certain level of competence at a certain point. The instructors have little choice in thier approach. The training syllabus could be changed to give low times more time to catch up, but that's well above the pay grade of the sim instructors.
Well i have to disagree.. I assume you have been an instructor yourself in the past. I was teaching at a 141 school where you follow a syllabus. You absolutly have to approach different students in different ways. This applies from a fresh student pilot to someone going for a type-rating. I personally know 200 hr pilots making it through the sim and 2000 hr pilots busting in sim.. It isnt as black and white as you make it sound like.
