Now THAT's a different story. If you are trying to meet a schedule, then find an instructor who can match it. Secondly, if you like the new instructor more then go with him.

I do ask you to do one thing though....make sure that you are not making a snap judgement on your original instructor. If he is a tougher instructor, that may be better for you in the long run. But if he just isn't giving you any good feedback or pointers, or positive reinforcement, then those are solid reasons to switch. Don't go with an instructor because he is easier though.

Not to drag this out, but maybe it will make my point better....when I was doing my PVT, I went through about 7 instructors before I got to the one who signed me off (they were all getting hired away). I had to decide whether to stay with number 7 or move on to number 8. Number 7 would get in the plane and say, "what do you want to do?" or when I asked him something he would say, "I don't care, whatever you want..." etc.. it was kind of fun flying around with him at first because I thought he was funny.

One day I flew with number 8 because of a sked error and he was HARD as crap. MADE me stay on heading and altitude and MADE me do this and that, including a lengthy debrief where he gave me tons of feedback. I was taken aback and irritate by him at first. After some really long hard thinking though, I decided to go with him. He was a prior flight safety guy (well trained) and i really learned alot of good stuff from him that i wouldn't have from the lazy guy.

Looking back, it was THE BEST move I made even though I had to force myself to warm up to the guy (which I did after I realized all of the above). I developed some really great habits that I then passed on to my students and that I still use for the airlines.

This may not be your situation, but make sure it isn't first.
