I saw your earlier post about getting your Private Pilot done for a fixed cost, and was a bit sceptical. However, it does sound like your CFI isnt helping you at all. I have worked with several CFI's and the ones that I have enjoyed the most were the ones that always helped fuel the plane or take care of other little time killing details. I am currently working with one that always waits for me to fuel and never offers to help. Clearly, he isnt required to do that, but it sure would be nice.

If you are convinced that you are getting a bad deal, shop around a bit. Just make sure you let your current CFI know what's going on and the source of your dissatisfaction. I wouldnt be too cool for your current instructor to find out that you dumped him from another instructor. It's a small world out there, after all....

Hang in there, keep working. Personally, I think you can get a good flying education from an FBO CFI....
