I'm not sure I'm comfortable with your advice. This was a discovery
flight; they didn't really *have* a true instructor/student relationship
yet.


I think Kontiki's advice is good for students who are underway with an
instructor, but I agree with you in this case.

In this experience, the Discovery Flight was also the instructor's job
interview for this potential client, and he failed. There is not yet a
realistic student-instructor relationship.

This is a good discussion, everybody.
