I'll relate another story that was told to me by another pilot. When he went through newhire EMB training he had a terrible time with his instructor. The guy would on give him about an hour of sim time each day, while his partner used rest of the 4 hour block. He spoke to the instructor about it, complaining he didn't feel comfortable with the limited amount of hands on flying he was getting. The instructors response was that he was just a 50+ year old hobby pilot living off his retirement and flying here for fun. That the sim time should go to the 20 something year old professional pilot!

Maybe this was the same guy. Maybe he had a grudge. Perhaps he had been violated by ATC in the past and took it out on you.

Without a doubt some of the guys in the training department have a GOD complex.
