These guys are idiots. They are not into teaching as much as they are into covering their a$$es and making money. They should be ashamed of themselves cranking out unqualified students who know little of hard IFR battlefield conditions. There are countless young pilots all over the country making their way through aviation life by hand flying approaches to minimums seven or eight times a day. The equipment they fly is at times substandard, yet they pull it off safely day in and day out. These babied 700-1 students you talk about will have no chance to survive in a jungle like this. In many respects, the big time airline guys have it much better as their equipment is state of the art and the autopilot compensates for many pilot shortcomings. It is the way of things however that one usually has to pass through the substandard and tough jobs to get to the nice cushy jobs - if they survive? Your students would do themselves a favor to find someone to teach them the hard and ugly side of 200 and 1/2 or 100 and 1/4 with crosswinds. They will be better pilots and probably live longer! It is also time for you to move on as your work there is done.
