I had 14 flying instructors and 7 sim instructors. I haven't added my vote because this was on a 165 hour full time ATPL course.
I pretty much had just one instuctor throughout the visual flying part of the course.
I am thinking of doing a PPL(H) soon, and when I do, I will want one main instructor, but the odd lesson from someone else. It is good to get a fresh perspective, but can be annoying if you are swapping and changing instructors all the time.
