Miss world ,
How to deal with instructors .
When you get in the plane , before start up just say " I hope this is going to be a worthwhile lesson because it's costing me X amount of money " I always say it nicely .
Once I have landed after a particually hard training flight I say " thanks for the lesson, now you can taxi it back because I'm knackered and you gotta earn your money" and once on the pan I ask for a debreif on the lesson and say so if I think that the lesson has not been worthwhile .To many instructors just hop out and onto the next student with out so much as a by you leave .
The problem with cocky instructors is that they forget where they came from so you have to install some respect into them and remind them who pays their wages and tell them to F-off if you dont like their methods or their attitude .
Bullies hate to be confronted , so confront them and they don't know what to do , so they start to show a little respect .
IMHO and experience .
Sorry if I've waffled but I'm abit Stellered
