He’s not the first and won’t be the last. If you’ve spent any descent amount of time instructing and/or checking then you know this is true. The hard part of either job is to have the balls to pull the plug.

In fact, "aeronautical decision making" is part of the curriculum from PPL all the way to ATPL.

The Company, because of standards set by the FAA, only requires X number of hours of instruction. Other pilots provide the gouge for the checking event. Because of this there is no time to teach judgement and the student memorizes his way through the checking event. There needs to be much more accountability required of Instructors and Check Airmen.
