OMG the thread drift that's got on here is incredible.
The biggest whiners on here are people who have never been military QFIs. All this talk about b52 crashes etc have NOTHING TO WITH INSTRUCTION.
DRE -
Humility is an important attribute for a pilot. Arrogance is not.
. DRE keeps banging on about arrogance etc. Unfortunately for you mate, it makes not a shred of difference whether or not, legally, Clarkey should be given his grade 1 based his DRE Arrogance rating, but rather it is to be based on his past instructional military expertise experiences. Leave your baseless emotions out of this discussion.
You have a real s...t attittude against military pilots - that's plain for all to see.
You are too thick to comprehend that this thread is not about ex Airline pilots being awarded their instructor rating, it's all about an EX RAAF QFI getting his Grade 1. Can he safely exercise the purview of a Civilian Grade 1 instructor rating? Absolutely. Could he authorise and supervise first solo flights - Absolutely.
I am privy to Clarkey's story on LinkedIn, I can assure you, that there is not an IOATA of arrogance displayed on that thread.
