Let us not forget who we are dealing with here, humans!
We only have the capability to learn at a certain rate, so with only one hundred and something hours under our belt when we get a commercial licence, there is one hell of a lot of learning to be completed with on the job training (provided that we can get a job).....as already stated in this arena.
This also is the fact for a new instructor with a limited amount of instructional hours. A low houred instructor has to be able to teach the "basics" to a student, while all the time he\she is honing his\her skills at the same time. After a few hundred hours in the seat with a student, the instructor generally has a totally different approach to their own instructional skills and technique.
With my enquiries into training, some countries of the world have a varied approach to the syllabus of training to other countries, but the end result arrives at basicly the same mark.
One only hopes that if that elusive job comes along, that the pilot flys to their capability and not to the companies capability until they have the skills to do so!
