True.
The ICT FSI I attended had the instructor doing the hangar talk and then he refused to show us the interactive programs or computer programs on the systems. He said it caused too much confusion. He ignored me but finally a Cessna sales rep spoke up enough that the instructor capitulated and did show us the computer stuff. It was great stuff but sad it took a we mutiny in the class. Just a tad bit underwhelmed. I complained about it and even shared my notes where I described what was going on in class and the amount of time spent telling me how to be a pilot and make the correct decisions (they had some decision tree thing they kept harping on) vs. how the airplane worked. Whoever was in charge basically told me to kiss off because learning about the airplane was only a part of what FSI taught or something along those lines. That was years ago though. I guess what miffed me was that my boss was spending money, even though it came via a new aircraft purchase, on sub par training that in my view wouldn't have been tollerated in say a FSI SAV.
