At the end of the day I see no statistical evidence of instructor standards decreasing from any organisational body involved with flight safety. I do however see that more GA pilots are falling foul of airspace changes, more regulations and an AIS made no easier for the majority of pilots both professional and recreational, but alas I digress...
To me this thread seems a puerile attempt by *some* to elevate their status by creating a perception that they somehow know better than everybody else. I see it all the time working at an airfield all week - everybody is an expert... it's endemic! At times I think Freud would've had a field day routing out the hidden issues behind someone who feels they have to constantly poke their head above the parapet to seek affirmation from their peers. Sadly, it's always the ones with the loudest voices which we get to hear time and time again but that's life I guess.
This thread has no grounds. In the words of Dragons Den: "I'm out!"
VFE.
