The bottom line is either you know your stuff or you don't. Whether you have your CFI or not should not be a "major" issue. Judge a pilot for HIS skills and ability N O T for what he has on a piece of paper.

Yes, you are one bad-a$$ 1200+ hour stud!!

lol...that my friend, was not the point. im the last one to run around, chest puffed out, acting like billy-bad-@ss. the point was also not was an attempt at trying to make a CFI's credentials out to be less than they are. if you go back and read before you jump, you will see i was referring to the hiring practices...not the "who-knows-more" attitude. we all know that most anyone can be trained to do what most everyone else is doing/whats needed to do the job.

truth be told, there are times i wish i had been able to take the ride and finish off my CFI, not just have an AGI card...but then again, i know i dont have the patience neded to sit over on the right side and tell someone more than about twice to "keep your glideslope", "watch your airspeed", crosswind correction" etc. etc.

i think 350Driver said it best...The bottom line is either you know your stuff or you don't. Whether you have your CFI or not should not be a "major" issue. Judge a pilot for HIS skills and ability N O T for what he has on a piece of paper.
