The last line of defense is the line check airman, and by the sounds of it you might of got a raw deal being shown that material in depth. I can assure you the LCA I know personally and myself cover it in detail.
I have to say, the difference between the line pilot instructors, and PSIs, is gigantic.
We had a few PSIs doing IPTs and they were absolutely useless garbage, feeding us wrong information and teaching wrong procedures and if they didn't know an answer, they made some sh*t up.
Both of our sim instructors who are also check airmen and line pilots, have been fantastic.
