Sorry, but change is a good thing, even if it takes time. I really don’t give a damn that I’m offending the butthurt CFIs in this thread. You aren’t God’s gift to aviation. You aren’t a better aviator than anybody else because you taught somebody how to bounce around in a 152. You need to just...

I don’t care about that Mumbo jumbo. I’d hire the freight guy in a heartbeat. He’s probably got really strong instrument skills and has real world flying experience. Not puttering around the pattern in a 152. Look, this clearly strikes a chord with you (CFI is even in your username), but you...

Yep, only CFIs have the skills you mention. Nobody else at all (nice straw man by the way). You’re full of it. Just like everyone else who continues to spout this nonsense about the CFI certificate. I think it comes down to a lot of CFIs on this forum being angry that others haven’t built...

Lol dude, exactly. It wasn’t covered that well. Well enough to pass but how much of that are you going to care about until you actually experience it? You sure as hell aren’t going to retain that knowledge until it’s actually being used on a semi regular basis. Instrument is the only checkride...

Cool. I agree with more of you than I originally thought. And even if I didn’t, that’s okay. There are so many different ways to reach an end in this industry.

Youre subtlety using your biases to imply that getting your CFI will somehow automatically make you a better aviator and make things easier than a person who hasn’t. I flew with a captain last week who, after complaining to me several times about a couple of F/Os at my company who are pretty...

Agree to disagree then. Additionally, I never used the CFI certificate. I have never had trouble in any professional training program. Just stop it already. You’re clearly arguing from the exact old school perspective I just called out several posts ago. If your heart isn’t in teaching, you...

I’m sorry, but you’re proving my point. I actually learned more in the first 100 hours flying my first transport category airplane as well as earning my ATP than at any other point. I had no idea what a four segment climb was, nor the definition of things like balanced field and clear...

QFT. The best way to build time is the one that works best for you. Did you know that almost all of my dual given is in blimps? Pilots who hold a commercial certificate with either a lighter than air airship or gas ballon or balloon with airborne heater also have instructional privileges in...

It’s your typical old school, “insider” part of aviation. Just like aviation is slowly no longer becoming an old white person’s game (good, I say!), this is yet another idiotic relic of the past that needs to go. If you hate teaching, you won’t be a good CFI. If you hate sitting around, bored...
