In fact, I have often said that nobody should be
allowed to get a CFI ticket until he has demonstrated a loop, spin,
and roll solo in an appropriate aircraft.


To expand a little further on my earlier post, I simply note that nobody is
beating down your door asking your opinion of what the certification
requirements for a CFI should be. The supply of 10,000 hour ex-fighter jocks
willing to take CFI jobs at less than minimum wage appears to be somewhat
limited, to say the least.

Although I have done loops, spins, rolls, etc., perhaps I am not as
impressed with myself for having done them as you are. They are undeniably a
lot of fun. But do they really help you to learn to teach? I think not.

Frankly, your incessant criticism of flight instructors, airline pilots,
pilots in general, mechanics, the FAA, and virtually everybody else involved
with aviation puts you at odds with a whole lot of people that I suspect
might know a little bit more than you do. Your generalizations have gone
beyond mere ignorance and have entered the realm of being dangerous.

Your demands for extreme qualifications place you on the lunatic fringe.
