Sounds like the new one who, rumours say, is very old school. Probably would love to hear from idiots willing to sweep floors. Good idiots are hard to get these days
This whole idea of doing something not related to the actually job generally works in the favour of those NOT willing to do it. Guess who gets the job. Kindda like a Hollywood casting couch. The ones not willing generally have belief in their own talent, and therefore has a higher chance of succeeding.
PS. A brand new instructor probably knows more in his/hers first year as an instructor than anybody else. Helicopter zen-wisdom is irrelevant when learning to do patterns/hover practice.
