I wouldn't sweat it too much, just keep ticking and don't let him make you think we(manly, studley men) are all like that. I had a female Instrument instructor who I had a blast flying with, so I'm sure that guy is one of a small few who act that way towards women.
I know that this guy is rather rare to find these days. I enjoy manly, studly men, normally.
I know MikeCWeb is gonna make some remark to that one. :laff:
Cessna414JJB - Figures :laff:
Q - I realize that now, that it definately has to do with relinquishing the authority to a woman, not neccessarily chauvinism. I couldn't really find the right word though, I think.
Crockrocket -
1 - Yep
2 - Yes
3 - Yep
4 - Exactly, but I was able to fix it. It's a crappy pair of Red Barons, but still. Not his property.
5 - They took the instructor charge off of his charge card, but I will be getting paid for my time. Especially considering I drove out to the airport simply to fly with this guy for the day.
nosehair - I had no problems flying with him with the attitude he had from the start, that does not change my teaching techniques in any way. The only difference that I had in the plane as opposed to flying with my students that I enjoy flying with, is that I didn't try to be his friend in the plane, I was just being an instrcutor to the guy for the day.
matt - I was tryingt o figure out what they're called when they're doctors--I tried using my Grey's Anatomy background for that, but couldn't think of it. Lol.
Thanks everyone, I understand that this isn't going to be an everyday occurance and am very interested to see what my Chief CFI has to say today. He has a meeting with the owner to discuss a list of items (and this was added to the list--what to do about the student and his attitude). I'll keep y'all posted.
