TheOddOne,
Yes, sorry, I should have specified that I was talking about paid instruction. i.e It was implied that I wasn't good enough to instruct for money if I was a PPL. Now apparently I would be.
Sobering thoughts Billiebob. At least we know they won't mess it up like JAA??!!
Westmoorland,
I didn't rally answer you last time.. my main concern over ex airline Pilots was that if they could instruct on a PPL rather than a CPL, many who had been shown the back door to commercial aviation for medical reasons would be able to take jobs from those on the commercial instructor route. At the moment they are confined to simulator work.
