Unless you teach only stundets working on their IFR rating how exactly does that help with the airline carrer that is sought after??? Since Ive had my CFI long before I started instructing the truth of the matter is that 90% of my studnets are CFI applicants. Im pretty sure teaching someone how to teach a turn around a point in a 4 place non complex normally aspirated airplane isnt going to prepare me to fly at high altitudes in faster aircraft. I could be wrong here Im open for people to tell me that too but I want to hear something else than that it teaches you aircraft mastery.
While Ill admit that I dont always agree with a pilot with just 300~700 should be flying a fast airliner....isnt it also something to be said that at these programs that it is a 300~700 hour instructor getting these guys "ready to go" to their type ratting or pft job? just something to think about
Oh and some defending for my self....Ive sent 20 guys up in the time Ive been instructing all but one has passed first try. Im sure they dont hate me too much
You certainly have not learned how to write effectively. Your sentence structure and spelling are atrocious. Have you ever heard of an apostrophe? Your post is almost unreadable. Do you self a favor and download a spell checker. This one for example:

To answer your question, "How exactly does that help with the airline career that is sought after???" You get seasoning and maturity. You also get the most important skill needed to enjoy a long career, the skills needed to get along with a wide variety of people, AKA "C. R. M."
