As far as new equipment (G1000, etc), I'm all for getting someone in there who can show me how to best use the tools at hand.
I should have specified quals for the mentor in terms of hours/experience. Once you've achieved a certain amount of time you would be released from mentoring so the 1000hr PP would not apply. Many of the PP I see on BFRs are flying 30 hours a year. Loading all 6 relatives in the flying club PA32-300 on a 103 degree day in TX and going to the family reunion in Ruidoso at 6,920 MSL elevation. The let's go do some stalls and steep turns at 7am on a cool day with the two of us BFR won't help that guy. Getting him into a realistic situation will.
