Don,
You're not going to believe this... I agree with you.
Airdale,
I know it's hard for someone who's currently in the program/instructing right now to be able to see how others may not see what you are doing as "The best" thing.
The fact is... there are people who don't learn that way... and there are people who don't approve of instruction that way. That's just life. Jealously doesn't factor into a chief pilot at Joe's FBO not wanting to hire an ATP instructor... a difference of opinion and philosophy, and a differing mindset of how it's "supposed" to be done does. Right or wrong, people are entitled to that. It's up to the individuals to help change that.
