Stop bringing up the “study guide “. There’s a couple of examiners that will flip out if you regurgitate the misinformation contained in that. One of them came to our class and told us to throw that guide away. You think that guy asks questions from that guide? All I expect is some structure to the program. Not to be spoon fed, taught. Big difference. To hand someone a stack of manuals and then play stump the dummy isn’t teaching and isn’t helping anyone.

Well said. And yes everytime you mentioned this to anyone, it was received with a shrug and just don’t whine. Cooperate and graduate.

I recently spoke to a friend, who is also in the training center, and he complained about the “teach me attitude” that some of the upgrade pilots are coming in with. He mentioned the lack on knowledge and leadership that is being displayed by some.
He also said that the quality of guys entering the program has degraded quite a bit.
