I have some scars my friend...:(

Completely normal unless the student starts bleeding I do not believe a post like this is even started. If this was true and it was ever done to me, I will stick his you know what up his you know what, just a thought.

Years ago at Eagle a certain sim instructor would hit you with a stick if you screwed up. Now he just yells a lot for no reason.

OJ Simpson has a temper as well.

Nice one Juice.

There are some real A-hole check airmen at TSA however there is no way in this day in age that anybody could get away with something like that. Lawsuit city.

I think If this is the guy I'm thinking about... the story has been a bit exaggerated. This guy I know would swipe your hand away if you're about to press the wrong button, yells a lot and possibly have thrown papers and whatever around in the sim, but I don't think it's as bad as your story sounds. Still wrong in my opinion, just not as bad as the story sounds.

Well FSI has a few passionate instructors who would do interesting things to get you to learn. Hitting you in the face wasnt one of them. As for check airmen I think I would have heard that story second hand from one of my classmates since we all just took checkrides.

I dont know...I have the BS flag ready to rise on this one...

As long as I am bigger than him his ass would be beaten. If he was bigger I would beat him with something heavy- crash axe comes to mind. Physical violence has NO place in the cockpit.

there is a guy at an airline on the east coast that is a check airman and has been accused multiple times of htting fo's!!! i don't want to say which airline or base, but I am sure some of you already know.
