Pessimist or Optimist?
What am I classified as?
Make your own decision on that, but I feel that I am a Realist.
What brings that question up. Lately I've come to terms with the fact that I might not be able to finish this course. I believe I have the capability to finish, but I won't discredit the fact that I might not be fit to finish.
I have a drive to finish what I have started.
The only thing that could possibly/will hold me back, is the discretion of my instructors which have 25+ years experience who are set in their ways, and how things are done back at their "home" location, which is creating a lot of conflict between my instructors, and a lot of stress on the student side of things. Bullshit politics, with stubborn old men as the mediators between what they are trying to teach us, and our future.
I have 2 instructors from Montreal, 1 from Gander, and a course director from who knows where (because we never see or hear from him), and besides the 2 from Montreal, they all contradict each other, and actually fight about the "right way" to do things.
They all talk about the "right way". But I'll talk about the "Wrong Way".
That reminds me...
Let's do some study review, for my memory recall and for you to have a very, very, small taste of what I have to learn.
MANOPS 423.something
When an aircraft is at an altitude inappropriate to the direction to flight:
1. Instruct an aircraft to give position reports
2. Indicate an altitude is "Wrong Way" when:
a) Passing or receiving a control estimate
b) Giving or receiving a radar hand-off
c) Co-ordinating with the adjacent sector/unit
3. Post warning indicators by circling an altitude in red on the appropriate flight progress strip.
Well, enough with that.
The "Wrong Way" I was talking about was to let your students see the animosity between the very people in which we are basing a career on. So no matter what you are teaching us, it's not going to be the right way irregardless. So what I get out of that is why bother trying if you are going to be wrong anyways? But I still try.
All I want to do is finish.
23yr/old SWM, looking for solace. Call me at NavCanada if you have some insight.
