You can't really deny that a lot of people's attitudes about training have changed too, my generation, the young guys that is are more relaxed about a lot of things. I got through training this spring within the foot foot print, no extra sims, no failure and 2 trips of ioe. But I know many former colleagues of mine that I taught with at a flight school are out and about with other airlines that I wouldn't get caught dead in one of their airplanes.

The attitude they had was all through their training was they wanted to have the "cool instructor" the guy that would write in their logbook everything was completed fine when maybe it wasn't, the person they wouldn't push them. I noticed quite a bit that students don't want to go above and beyond anymore, there's no drive to study that extra hour or to be pushed. I think a lot of it is a generational thing. It's a more relaxed attitude about training.
I'll be the first to admit I was that instructor and that student, but when the time came, I studied my butt off and still got the job done.
