Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe PSAJOBS was referring to a previous comment where a post indicated that PSA would fail a pilot candidate but allow said candidate to apply as an instructor. In this instance, I believe a candidate that had issues completing a visual approach to landing but understood systems, flows, and the learning process could instruct with PSA. This isn't that ridiculous of a statement - many instructors at many training facilities have never flown the aircraft, or AN aircraft for that matter. Numerous prior flight engineers, the mechanically inclined, et al. could very well be some of the finest instructors in a training department. My previous type rating course was taught by an instructor with zero time in business jets of any size but was of the finest instructors I've ever had. So while I would agree this statement would be ridiculous if in reference to line pilots, I believe it has been taken out of context. The Asiana/SFO comment does not apply to the context of the original quote - PSAJOBS is merely stating a "for example" of someone that may not be able to do, so they teach. That is not uncommon. Carry on.
