You are wrong Brit Abroad, when someone makes insulting comments, and very ignorant comments to boot, they should get the elbow, simple as that. I think you and others supporting JJFlyer did not read what he said, those were outrageous comments, and there is no place on a public forum for that kind of silly nonsense. To say an instructor who remains as an instructor because he cannot 'move up' is stupid. Who does he think does all the Pilot testing? I think he is very junior aircrew, if indeed he does fly, I think perhaps not otherwise he would have a rough idea of the value and admiration instructors should have.
