Yep, back in my CFI days I wanted so badly to tell some to "hang it up" but the boss wouldn't let me. If I did and word got back to the employer there would be serious repercussions.
One of my former employers even wanted me to teach a deaf mute to learn to fly and said my name would be all over the papers if I suceeded. Oh, just make up a bunch of index cards with explainations on them. It took me a nanosecond to refuse.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the flight school that taught the 9/11 hijackers find it odd they weren't concerned about landings? They had money so take 'em up.
