There is no correlation between a experienced pilot and an experienced flying instructor. Good instructors are as rare as hen's teeth. Experienced pilots are dime a dozen.
he said good not experienced... I know some experienced pilots who arent good either.. but generally you would expect to get better, just begs to ask how bad they used to be when they used to be inexperienced...

agree though.. I found a very good instructor who was so fickle, eventually I followed him as he changed through at least 4 schools through the course of my 250 hours of training with him. Of course they all slowly got more expensive as we went, guess he slowly got paid more as word spread too...
