Is this a Canadian logbook or is there an option for a FAA logbook? Is there a subscription or is the purchase price a one time purchase? Thanks.

If they are a time builder, they will fly with you for free. My instructor, good kid, was one and I got most of my time with him for free. He's a cop now, so it really wasn't worth it for him. He said being a airline pilot was too much like driving truck.

If they are building time but also are a good instructor with a passion for aviation and can teach, great. The problem is the CFIs who don’t really care about being a CFI beyond building time for their own interests and could give a damn about their students success. These CFIs have put their students in serious danger. If it’s just another way to build time to you do NOT become a CFI. You may save a life.

Instructor first, time-building second. Totally fine. But a time-builder who not only doesn’t care about their students, but also doesn’t care to learn how to be a better instructor…awful. They need to be weeded out of the industry.

This whole video is just hatred based on your personal experience with a single person, applied to literally thousands if not tens of thousands of people. I hope you realize AT LEAST 90% of instructors are your hated "time builders", yet most of them are fully capable teachers and well liked by students. I understand your whole business is centered around encouraging people to do non-instructing jobs for time building, but you are either willfully ignorant or completely lying to people if you think that's an option for everyone looking to get an ATP. The supply to demand for low time pilots is probably 1% or less. The reality of the situation in the US is that there are WAY, WAY more low time pilots than there are jobs available, and even the ones that are available are usually seasonal jobs that cause pilots to take multiple years to build their required time. Rather than make terrible videos like this and trying to force flight schools to purge the vast majority of their instructors, focus your energy on repealing the 1500 hour rule entirely. Overall, this is just an awful video.

I think you are letting your biases evolve internally into a hatred of people for no reason. Yes, there are less than great instructors out there, but there are also a ton of fantastic instructors who are working toward a career in the airlines and helping students in the mean time. Having goals beyond flight instructing doesn't make someone a "horrible person", as you call them. It's very unfortunate you think that. I do agree that students should take initiative to ensure they are getting their money's worth and be their own best advocate, but often times even students are looking to become airline pilots, and having a CFI that is just a couple years ahead of them on the same career path can allow for great mentoring and learning. I have personally experienced this. So for you to preach hatred toward innocent instructors who are ambitious about their careers is quite inappropriate and unprofessional, and it doesn't reflect well on you.

“I can’t tell you how much this message resonated with me. In my first month of instruction it’s clear as day which of my Coworkers are here for the right reasons. Thanks for putting this out!” One of many messages I got after this post, from someone who got what I was saying: instruct for the right reasons. Time-building is fine, as long as you’re an instructor first. I flew commercially, then instructed (overhauling the whole program at the school I ran) then flew commercially again. And I have dozens of former students now flying commercially. It’s your job to explain the concepts and demonstrate the exercises in a way that the they understand (not just regurgitate the training manual or POH). It’s what you’re paid to do. It’s all about the student. And those that don’t care about the students are wasting their time and $. It’s a choice And knowingly wasting a student’s time and $ is horrible. It’s criminal. These people are not innocent, as you say. It’s fraud. And we should be embarrassed as an industry that we let this happen to students so regularly.

This isn't entirely true some of the best instructors I've had were building time to get to the airlines. I think that you can build time and still take the job of an instructor very seriously. Being a new instructor myself my end goal is to get to the airlines but I also have a passion for teaching people how to fly and I take my role as an instructor very seriously.

CFIs that are building time can be excellent instructors. Don't listen to this guy. He is full of hate for no reason. Go to your nearest flight school, take a discovery flight, sit down and talk about what the training program would look like, how much they charge, how often you could realistically fly, and see if you like the instructor you talk to. If they seem like a good person and you like them, then go with them. Be ambitious about flying, always study before and after flights, chair fly, and use your simulator at home if you have one to practice things. Make sure you advocate for yourself if you feel like things aren't going the way you want, and you will be fine almost anywhere. Instructors that are time-building are often just as good, if not better instructors. This guy is just preaching hate against other instructors to try to make himself sound good.

Well if you don't want a "time builder" then you must remove >95% of the selection pool, and then go from there with trial and error. After that you will be left with a small selection of people who are either too old, physically incapable, or otherwise prevented from moving onto better jobs. But of course there is that .1% of instructors who just love to teach and are very experienced, and if you find one like that you are very lucky. My best advice is to ignore everything said in this video and just meet instructors and see what works for you.

@@Rivni Yes, you almost always can. But that's a good question for the flight school before you start. If it's a small school with only one or two instructors, switching between instructors will be more difficult unless you switch flight schools all together.

The pilot shortage isn't real.
