Many of you may find this strange and it is uncommon, but I know several CFI-IA's that are only CFI-IA's. And they get more than their share of instrument students because they hold themselves out as instrument only specialists and people buy it. Yes I know this is rediculous because those with the ASE in addition to the CFI-IA are just that much more qualified but for whatever reason the CFI-IA's are doing OK, plus they can call themselves CFI's for their ego if they wish. Plus since they really don't like to sign off BFR's for their friends (liability concerns) who can not fly very well, they have the best excuse in the world, "Sorry I'm only a CFI-IA, I can not do BFR's, only instrument instruction, I'm a specialist." Those that are just CFI-IA's that I know like their special distinction that they think they have.
