That seems a little strange, does a pilot with 200 tt actually know how to fly themselves ?, not wonder the standard of the bare CPL is so low, you can not learn something from a teacher than does not know it themselves.
then how the hell are you supposed to get started? Not that i'm in this position but this attitude frustrates me to hell.
What is your answer for the career path for the bare CPL? Try going charter with 150 hours TT and see how you go.
There is no reason that a low tt jnr gr 3 cannot adequately teach ab initio. EOC, S&L, C&D circuits etc. Thats where they build their time and learn to fly, learn to teach. Its not until they have 600-700 hours generally do they move on to teaching nav regularly and more advanced sequences.
