I wonder if they could hire some retiring experienced pilots pay them a half decent wage and charge a premium for their services.


Nah thats crazy, hire the kid for 15 bucks an hour.

I'm a slow learner, but after a while, I figured out that people
really didn't want good flight instruction, which I define as the
most knowledge and skills learned in the least amount of time.

People want shitty flight instruction.  They want to learn as little
as possible, as inefficiently as possible, while never getting their
feelings hurt, because they know from their scoreless childhood
soccer games and hovering mothers that worthwhile achievements
always come easy to millennial snowflakes.

They're special, after all.

I won't mention R. Lee Ermey.  He knew about "special".

Any wanker that dares to whine about a "flight instructor shortage",
I would direct him to TC Ontario Region, where they work very hard
to prevent highly experienced flight instructors with a lifetime of perfect
safety aviation records, from renewing their instructor ratings.

It is not only Ontario, in 1986 I started a flying school in Nanaimo and when I was in the office of the top bureaucrat for this region and told him I was going to renew my instructors rating he flat out told me they would not renew it because they wanted pilots who would do it their way and I did not fit that mold.


I did a lot of flying with a Class 1 and went for my renewal test with a TC inspector and did not get past the first hour of the ground part.....


....so these pricks really do have power over the industry and it is just the way they want it and will not change.

I actually don't have any problem with that.  I can
fly and instruct better than any TC Inspector, which
admittedly is not much of a claim.

This is merely petty, vindictive retribution by slimy
big-bellied bureaucrats who squeal,

"[b]Qualified but not eligible![/b]"

What scum they are.  Once again, the taxpayer gets
very poor return for their dollar.

I know everyone hates Donald Trump, but you could
take a page from his playbook and get rid of FTU OC's
if you wanted to increase flight instruction.

Nah.  Bigger government is always better government,
and we need more swamp.
