CFI Article
Was browsing the net and came across an article, sort of an interesting read, http://www.chasingclouds.net
anyone else agree? or disagree? |
Ha. I couldn't disagree with this person more. I am one of those "21 year old" flight instructors. There is nothing more I hate than being seen as incapable of doing my job due only to something as subjective as age. I busted my butt just as much as any other CFI out there. I still went out and received my PPL, IR, CPL and my CFI. The FAA wouldn't have signed me off and given me my certificates if I was found incapable right? Sounds to me like this person is more irritated by the fact that he received some bad instruction so he is pointing the finger at the wrong person. When you point at somebody else you've got to remember that there's three fingers pointing right back at you :)

There are terrible CFI's with 200 hrs and terrible CFI's with 15000 hrs. This guy can complain all he wants about how bad his CFI is...but why doesn't he just get another one? This is not a very difficult situation to get out of!

Many students are older, high-performance, triple-A personality lawyers/doctors/businessmen. Guys like these sometimes have esteem issues taking direction from a 20 y/o...especially if they suck.
|
not to mention most of the arguments this guy makes is full of logical fallacies....
"...after having received all of his training from a 21 year old who lacked both experience and complete understanding of his responsibilities as a Certified Flight Instructor and failed to stress proper crosswind and rudder use technique during landing" - poisoning the well/ad hominem "...as he was after all an immature 21 year old "party animal" just looking for a good time, but it must be considered that he is what he is" - ad hominem like Rick said he's probably just disgruntled |

Perhaps this dude should invest more time searching for a new instructor rather than wasting time writing a web article. |
