I take exception to this sentence. Having traveled the world and on more than one occasion retained a like priced service provider, I can honestly state that, in my experience, hard sucking can’t be bought for $5.
Everything else HardLemonade said is accurate, however.
There is a marked disparity in quality between the PSIs and the guys who have actually flown the airplane. There seems to be a few decent PSIs, but most of them I encountered lacked experience in the aircraft, and also seemed to just be there for the paycheck. Ultimately, this is going to lead to pilots being trained to pass a checking event, as opposed to pilots being trained to fly the airplane.
It may take a few years, but I think this will result in a decline in the quality of ADM displayed by flight crews.
I hope this situation resolves naturally somehow, but I doubt that will happen.
Meanwhile, I guess I should catch up on those training critiques...
