i disagree. military pilots are 300 hour wonders and they go to the left seat at 1000 hours, and become instructor pilots at around the 1500 hour mark. and they tend to be rock solid instructors. so you dont have to have prior instructing experience to be a good instructor in the future. you just have to know what youre doing
