Sure, a newer CFI won't be able to preach about the pros and cons of a steep approach when landing in hot LZ in 'Nam

You said it yourself. If you're happy with the minimum standard well for you.

Where do you think you would get the best value for money?
Teaching capability aside.
What category does that put the low time instructor in that can't teach all that well?
By the way, Bob had a few good tunes but at the end of the day he was just a drug ed idiot

The whole hangar rat idea is ridiculous, just cheap labour. And has nothing to do with learning the industry from the ground up. Hands on experience that's what you need 'stick time' not 'broom time'.
Nice one. That's one of the stupidest things Ive ever heard. You might think twice when one of your boys is out in the field on the phone to an engineer telling him that "He thinks that the noise is coming from that round looking thing with the square on the end near where the pipe is bolted to the grey bit" Amplifiedby the fact that he did his license with a 207.6 hour instuctor that didn't have the operational experience to pass on any tips and things to look out for on the machine.
Other than that, it's a great theory
