Anything whose title begins with "sexy" and ends with something where "sexy" is
not a prime requisite, gets a nay. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

What about the OP's question about _The Savvy Flight Instructor?_ I've never seen it either, so I looked at what they had on Amazon. First of all, it is dirt cheap ($14). Second, there are three _long_ reviews and they all liked it. Third, it appears to be about the career of flight instructing, not the profession--in other words, it's about how to get and retain a job rather than how to teach. There are at least a few sample pages you can read there, too. If you're going to try making a living as a CFI, it looks like a reasonable investement. At least you'll have something to read while the student is under the hood. Mike Beede P.S., Savvy USENET readers should not require smilies. Feel free to insert one at the appopriate position in this post. Mike Beede |

That's interesting. What about the OP's question about _The Savvy Flight Instructor? Hmmm... (looking up at the headers). I originally read (and responded to) the title as "the SEXY..." Never mind. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

First of all, it is dirt cheap ($14). If it's only $14.00 why is anyone even asking the question? If $14.00 is an issue, then they shouldn't even be flying. -- Tony Roberts PP-ASEL VFR OTT Night Almost Instrument Cessna 172H C-GICE |

If he had any real insights, then it might have been a useful book. As it was, he just offered advice you might have been able to get from your barber. I'm a bookaholic, and I save just about anything, but I threw this one out. |
