Rainboe, by no means did I say I am judging him. Afterall, he is a good friend of mine. Hence the reason why I feel it is unfair for him to be spending this amount of money with no progress being made. He has changed instructors a number of times, and has even flown with the Chief Pilot who happens to be a master CFI. I still do not believe that I am in a position to talk with him about alternative measures. I have shared my concerns with some CFI's who have flown with him, and had them collectively state that he forgets quite easily. I mean where do you go from there? I do want to see him succeed.
