This is a question directed at CFI's...

How many of you would take offense if a regular student started flying with someone else?

I've noticed that when a CFI can call someone "their" student, they take some pride and go more out of their way to meet scheduling needs or give such a student the occasional free ground advice/instruction. Plus, they can watch you progress and really get a feel for strenths/weaknesses

I also think every CFI has something valuable to offer from their own experiences, that no one else can teach quite as well as they can. Plus, a different instructor can catch things the other instructor may not have noticed.

So the question for flight training is should a student stay loyal to an instructor or seek advice from as many as possible?
