Having fundamentals and basics are one thing. To be given obscure sim profiles in which you already will have degraded SA, and holding people to high standards only to criticize their every error is a ridiculous environment IMO. Single pilot IFR ain't for everyone, but the washout rate at AMF even still, would indicate that half of the pilots in the U.S. cannot fly on instruments, yet CRJs aren't having instrument proficiency related accidents. Thats where the washouts from AMF are going, and passing. Ironically, I know a guy who washed out of training at a regional, and passed training at AMF...
