Pushing people to instructing, is the worst thing they could do.
Even now, there is A LOT of poor instructors, who doing it ONLY to build hours.
Do they have knowledge? Experience? Passion and desire for teaching? No! And those guys, suppose to teach future aviators to become good, safe pilots?
Do they really think, if the put a guy, who just want to get into cockpit of shine airplane asap, who dont cares about knowledge, to sit in right (instructor) sit for 1 year, he will become better, safer pilot?
Imo it should be a lot harder to become FI, then airline pilot. And wage should be accordingly.
