The thing I don't understand is that it is obvious that low houred instructors don't know how to fly properly and can't pass onto the student what their experiences have taught them. Using instructing as hour building is fine for the low houred instructor but what about the student?. $320+ per hour or whatever it is now is a lot to spend on aiding the hour building of an inexperienced instructor while not gaining the full advantage of industry experience and knowlegable airmanship. If this is how hour building is going to be achieved I think the industry needs to take a double dose of "Viagra Eyedrops"& have a long hard look at itself. Pack your gear and file your ornamental instructors ticket away and go out and build the hours the right way, not at some poor bugger who is spending a lot of money so hopefuly he can do the same things expense. The keen one's always get a start. It's natures way of culling.
