Does that make us less professional as teachers?
Not at all. That is not the reason we think you are less professional.
It is your refusal to consider a lobotomy. That is necessary to be a professional flight instructor..I think it is actually in the CARS someplace, but as I am not a flight instructor or TC type I am unable to quote them chapter and verse.
On a bit more serious note, that first post was a pretty nice description.
Not sure why you got your parachute all in a knot over the semantics..Personally I am not anti-semantic at all. If the student understands is what it is all about. You have two (or is it too, or to?) much time on your hands Chuck to be contemplating these things and making them personal issues. Professionalism is a bit more than the improper use of a word or too (or is it two, or to?)
