I've been through 3 very different 121 training programs and one was extremely unfair with crappy instructors. But I passed with no issues. I had to work extra hard and dedicate a ton of extra time. I could have talked crap about the crappy instructors (crappy in my opinion) but I didn't. I buckled down, acted like a professional and did my job. Quite the concept. And I'm hardly naive as I've been through more training departments than you have.
Well this is one area I certainly do agree with. Regardless of the training dept every new hire must buckle down and give 100%. I too have seen many times where somebody is slacking. In my opinion that is fairly rare but yes it does happen.
Most common is when somebody slips up and then trashes the instructors and flames the airline. We really need self responsibility in this industry. Along with that we really need integrity. In my most humble opinion I feel that one philosiphy has mostly departed this industry.
