I can think of a few FIs and CPL holders I wouldn't go flying with
The least able pilot with whom I have ever flown was an ATPL holder. He's no longer with us.

Neither are his crew and passengers.

Most FIs and ATPLs I've flown with have been good pilots but there are just one or two that have you thinking how on earth they got a vanilla PPL never mind an FI or ATPL ticket. I can think of one ATPL in particular who had no empathy with the aircraft at all; he may as well have been driving a bulldozer.

I remember many years ago being given a risk assessment table by an aviation insurance company, the least dangerous where brand new PPL holders and on a par with a BA Captain's and the most risky where crop spraying helicopter pilots!

I can also remember a very well known ex Spitfire pilot checking out an Instructor and saying afterwards, " an Instructor, its doubtful if he should even have a PPL". He later went onto own his own flying school and has made a major contribution to low standard flying training

The sad thing is that it's so hard to guess who it could be.
