Relationship with students

[outside_loop]

Dinger,
theres no issue of an abuse of power. You're dealing with an adult who can make their own mind up about any relationship of any type. you're not clergy. you're not a doctor - you don’t have to stick your finger up their bottom - i can understand that that makes things more complicated!

that said, if i were involved with someone as an instructor, or as a student, i would fly with someone else, as flying is best taught in an atmosphere which is not clouded by other issues. thats just common sense.

i always wonder when i see stories of father and son or husband and wife flying a commercial jet. how willing are they going to be to dob the other in for being pissed, or for flying below minimums... And presumably they both ate the same meal the night before?!
