If you spend your first 1000 hours flying around the pattern, teaching stalls and crosswind landings...well, I think there would be worse ways to spend your time. There's a lot of airmanship to be learned there. |
Thank God somebody still has some sense around here. I learned more about flying teaching primary's than I have teaching at a part 135 company and flying at a 121 company so far. I've sure as heck learned a lot at all three of the jobs I've had so far, but I'd say the learning curve was the steepest when I was doing primary's.
