I had a CFI who rolled in an hour late for his "lesson" which was a glorified cross country with the students wife!
The CFI boasted about being on the piss until 4-5 that morning and of being completely cut.
Next day i learned that he mistook a set of farm buildings for Norwich airport, on the return leg got so lost 121.5 were contacted and in the process busted Stanstead,Luton and Brizes zones.
He now works for a rather well known training organisation based on the south coast involved in a pre airline training scheme. It's not the first time i've met this sort of person who has all the right buzz words etc but doesn't do the basics right(not drink,pay staff,turn up on time etc)
The students wife who was sat in the back was terrified as she listened to the CFI and student trying to find out where they were and refused ever to fly a GA aircraft again.
Criminal
ps yes i agree i should have said more at the time, and am still encoutering the same problems with the same types who insist on the 1950's lets get pissed hurrah attitude, isnt it funny sort of thing
