Bose I did respect you at one point, but the way you keep harping on about hour builders makes me think you're a real c&%t. I know you personally and am getting more and more offended by what your write on here.
Oops, hit a raw nerve.....
And you of all people have always known my view on this subject.
While the industry is devalued by those using it as a ride onto 'greater' things we are going to have poor pay and conditions for those who want to make a career of teaching. As long as the industry sees the FI as not being a proper job but just a stepping stone, the career FI's will continue to receive wages that barely feed them and the students will continue to receive sub standard training.
I don't think every hour builder is the devil, just those who don't do the role justice. Oh and I never mentioned 'young' at any stage.
Now if that view makes me a ****, so be it. But until the industry improves the core of PPL Instruction we are going to continue to have a massive drop out rate and poor standards.
