My (limited) experience of instructors has been mostly positive. Certainly they tend to be several cuts above driving instructors.

As for school organisation... It seems to me that flying at our level can't be scheduled very tightly by its nature. Sometimes the weather's bad. Sometimes a lesson runs on because you have to go around or orbit for ATC. I missed a few lessons to let people do X-countrys, and when some good weather came up for mine somebody else got a call to see whether they could take the aircraft at a different time. Give and take... Take and give.
