"I detect a lot of jealousy among people who had to 'claw their way to a CFI job'"

You see it as jealousy? I see it as disgust that the bar has gone so low. Call it what you want but jealous it most certainly isn't.

Anyhow, saying a 260 hour guy can do a better job the a 9000 hour guy who shouldn't even have a PPL? I'm guessing he's your Capt? You call him a "tool"?

Oh yeah...it's all starting to make sense now....
