Mick,
Is that because the vast majority of instructors are just using you as another stepping stone, just like they probably did with instructing? If the end goal is just building hours to climb into a twin at the drop of a hat to get into an airline there will never ever be any love for any job.
I was very fortunate to have stumbled across a brilliant instructor. Took me to every farm paddock strip in NZ he could find. Used to make me run 1 wheel down the centreline of the runway to get the cross wind landings. Took ages to clean all the cow poop off the plane.
Are you looking for anyone at the moment, I know of this young lad in NZ, brilliant attitude, a great pilot and all round good bugger.
