If you put in the slightest bit of effort every transition and or CQ event is a breeze and you’ll be fully prepared for the line. If you’re one of those contrary morons that wants to be spoon fed, you’re going to have issues.
I agree ... over my 29 years at UAL I had nothing short of great training ... all instructors were great... only 2 training partners had issues ... both due to attitude ... one a Nasty swinging tool ... until he lost it on a few V1 cuts ... then decided to be a nice guy .... the other was a new hire like me but he was going to TK as an instructor and was ‘special’ ... didn’t need to study or work together ... girlfriend lived local ... never willing to go over stuff ... until late the night before our first check ... would I help him go over the flows .... man I’m in bed after a beer,I can’t help. UAL gave him a 2nd chance then showed him Quebec road. He never would have fit in at TK.
