thank you for validating my point that not all CFI's are double I's or MEI. And those that aren't usually stay inside when IFR.
Again, see my original response. Silly me to assume a CFI would know the difference between a CFII and MEI etc. Man y'all are sensitive today

Granted, you did say CFI, but I think we can argue that by the time most instructors get to the airlines, they / we have instrument and multi engine privileges.
