I have been instructing longer (and have more instructional hours) than some mates who have had their restriction lifted already. I ain't one to blow sunshine up my own backside but having flown with them, and shared beer rounds with them, I know they are not:
a) as commited to the profession as I,
or
b) as good an instructor as I.
Sorry if that sounds bigheaded but those here who know me know that I am not bigheaded so take a chill pill.
When you look at some schools who have unrestricted FI's willing to sign their own solo sign-offs to an unrestricted FI's CAA paper it rather grates....
VFE.
