This is true. Forcing people that 'don't want to/won't be a good' CFI to CFI is a bad idea. This whole idea that CFIing is the only way to build hours is flawed. It might be the easiest way to build hours, but when you have a whole bunch of CFI's that don't care about their jobs and are only doing it to build time the end result is a new crop of pilots that isn't up to par. Bad CFI's create bad pilots, it isn't fair to the students that are spending money, and it isn't good for this industry as a whole.
