Pringle1 - we won't give a rat's about the licence held by the instructor as we'll only offer jobs to people who can prove that they have sound personal flying skills, acceptable interpersonal skills, the ability to impart instruction and the capacity to assess the student's flying.
We don't like precocious idiots with Captain Kellog wings or bars, by the way!
