My apologies for mis-spelling a few words earlier , was just trying to stick up for a few of us loan students.
I would welcome involvment of experience pilots within a aero club environment, it one thing i see lacking at my aero club, and as you say does seem to be blocked ( i have seen very experienced pilot turned away ) from getting on line as instructors.
seem to be a very limited loop of experience ie all the instuctors we students only a few years ago.
I get to chat with a number of airline pilots ( work part time in a hotel ) and I am really impressed with the encouragement and advice i get.
