Talk to your instructors before posting on Reddit!
I just wanted to come here and post a PSA for everyone in flight training and remind you that your instructors are people too. Please talk to your instructor directly about what is bothering you before posting on Reddit.
Many of the concerns are legitimate but could also be solved with a two minute conversation letting them know that something they are doing is bothering you. Ninety nine percent of the time you can work it out and jumping straight to the chief pilot or firing them is usually not the right was to go about this (which seems to be everyone on Reddit’s favorite solution). Throughout your career you will fly with people you do not get along with, and being able to bridge those gaps and still get the job done is a skill you should start developing now.
Remember most everyone in this industry is trying to improve so a lot of the time a simple conversation can go a long way. No matter where you are the chief pilot is never your saving grace, and you should remember that when trying to use them to settle disagreements. The call the instructor gets to go into the chiefs office will not go how you imagine or want. It just gives the instructor a podium to tell the chiefs all the reasons that you are not putting in your best effort as a student so on and so forth. Most of the time the instructor will end up on top of that interaction and everyone is annoyed at you for wasting their time.
This is what being a professional is all about. Talk to people resolve your differences and stay out of the chiefs office together. No one is more invested in your training and seeing you succeed than your instructor is and certainly not the chief pilot, just keep that in mind.
