He is milking the pilot big time

I did not say they were good instructors.

I've done long stretches of instruction (10+ hours) that ended in the
student getting a flight review endorsement, but usually in the context
of learning some new skill. For example, my club requires a 10 hour
checkout for our retracts. At the end of that time, I sign the person
off for both the club checkout and BFR (and, if appropriate, a
complex/high-performance endorsement, and maybe an IPC too). I suppose
by some narrow definition, you could call that a 10 hour BFR.
