Speaking as an instructor there are people that I am uncomfortable flying
with. I generally avoid the guys who want a BFR done in minimum time even
though they have not flown in several years, for example.

Our rental rules require that if you have not flown in the last 60 days you
have to do three takeoffs and landings with an instructor before we will
rent you a plane.
