My point was not whether the request was right or wrong, I don't think it was right to attack the person who asked the question initially. The person who posed the question in the first place was granted his wish, how am I wrong exactly? There is no reason people need to be a jerk, simply because they can.

If you're going to tell someone they're wrong, then use the correct you're.

I do not want to get into a philosophical discussion about this, but "CFI's that excel" and "pilots that will succeed in 121 ops" are not always the same group of people. From experience, as a student pilot, training classmate, and in a former time at another job, union rep.

College GPA is actually a stronger predictor of 121 training success than previous experience (per the CP hiring dept.). There was only one CFI who had serious issues in CPZ training over the past few years, the vast majority excelled.

GPA was the very first thing they verified in my panel interview. It certainly seemed like they were interested in that.
