OK. He wasn't fired. Should have been ... He pulled the same crap on "a guy I know" and busted him on his first PC in 2011. Stuff well beyond the PTS. And he wasn't alone in this behavior. There are others.
I will say that the newer guys in the training department are trying to bring the quality of instruction up, but they're still stuck working under the same system, so any significant change is impossible.
