Nothing to do with mil v civilian it is an example of how it should be done, not what we have ended up with, everything driven by money. Yes I agree that there are good young instructors, but teaching people to fly is not just following Lessons 1 to 30 in a regimented way. It is about teaching airmanship ( in my day ) now called threat and error management, really just common sense ! How can you expect an junior instructor who has done nothing else other than regimented lessons and a load of trial lessons pass this wealth of knowledge on ? We have ended up in the classic catch 22 situation.
