One of my instructors also became a check pilot/examiner while he was my instructor. They have all been very devoted, professional and knowledgable and I honestly have nothing but good things to say about them. Whether I have just been lucky with my choice of instructors or this being the general rule with so-called "Airline wannabees" I don't know. Maybe somebody else have some experiences to share that can help draw a more complete picture? :) Hi Vincent,

Age - less concerned, but generally older I want to fly with experienced guys/gals please, people who can teach the tricks, not just the syllabus. Experience - prefer GA/Grizzled ag pilot types who have great hands on flying over the button pushers/ by the numbers folks. Believe in flying a light single like a light single, not being 'stabilised' 3 miles out. Gender unimportant. Full/Part – don’t care, so long as they’re available to suit my schedule(!)
