I'm sorry but I disagree with not willing to learn, I most definitely was willing to learn, but some, not all, of the instructors I had were not very sympathetic to anyone who may have had some form of flight experience prior to the event. They came across as, "you are a student, you therefore know nothing and I will teach you". This is not always the case and generalising like that pisses people off. I am not a know all asshole unwilling to listen but I'm afraid I can recognise waffle & bull**** when I hear it. I've been flying very irregularly since 1956, I'm not stupid, I take a great interest in trying to improve my capabilities. I have tried very hard not to be a smart ass in everything I do, and just for the record, I pretty much expected your response by the way you seem to defend the instructor in many of your posts. I hate being misunderstood.
Edit: as for real names versus anonymity.
