They come from a generation where you have to be competent or your life depends on it.
If the snowflakes of today can’t handle those guys, then I would hope they’d call out sick before I’d put my family onboard a SkyWest jet.
“Santa clause program”... or could it be that the training has evolved and gotten better, and no longer has to be a ****ing match between the instructors and students about who knows more.. but watch out everybody. we have top gun here, king of flying metal tubes around. At the end of the day training is about safety, and just like flying out on the line, bad apples have no place in the training department where people are there to learn, get reps, and hone their skills
