I remember after instructing for several years we went to one of those CASA safety seminars. One of the speakers was a Capt from Ansett recruiting who opened with, "We at Ansett never like to hire instructors. They watch other people fly and have no sence of schedule...".

Of course we were horrified. But lets face it instructors have to MANAGE the flight just like anyone else. As any instructor in an NDB holding pattern in IMC with a simulated engine shut down with other Duchies and Seminole darting around can tell you.

But as the previous post said we all have a similar goal. At my last (RPT) job both instructors and bank-runners performed equally well.
