I do fully understand and recognise the fact that there are a good bunch of flight instructors, that not necessarily do have a whole lot of experience themselves. My previous post was targeted on all those flight school alumni who see it as an easy way out. There's no job, why should i drop skydivers, so let's become a FI until things turn out the other way on the job market. It's not fair to the student who paid thousands of $€
£ to have a mediocre self pity instructor by his/her side, that is only focused on the fact when he/she can leave that job. And yes, there are lots of these types of instructors on the market. Especially in the larger EASA type Zero to Hero "academies".
