baboon boy. I presume you have never taught any female pilots.
They are actually some of the most rewarding students to teach for a bloke but unfortuantly there should be a seperate FI rating on how to deal with them.
They do have the tendency to become very attached to the instructor which they get on best with. Not always in a romantic manner although what goes on in their heads is a different matter, it just seems more to do with a method of dealing with the stress they are under. Mrs HFD was proberly teasing the hell out of him after being told what a wonderfull person he was by all his pissed up female students.
Things that could have been dealt with, with a chuckle and "you knob" with a bloke. Have to be treated like a live grenade otherwise an explosion of tears will follow.
Well done mad_girl and have fun with the rest of the course.
