I hope we are now agreeing that young instructors should be encouraged to continue as instructors. That some CFIs should be a bit more interested in keeping their instructors.
I think we can all learn from one an other and perhaps people like me should be flying more often with the young instructors, giving them a chance to fly a different aircraft to a different place.
(ie. 180 Knot Mooney to La Rochelle twice a Month)
I still think the 1000 hours suggested would be a good place to start for an instructor rating though.
