Yeah I was working on getting ready for my checkride too, but then my instructor got hired on at a regional, and I learned I'd be moving across the state in a few months, so spending 1-2k more didn't really make sense. I'll get back to it when it makes sense time and money wise, and I got a lot out of it already.

We're trying to get that started, and frankly it's not going to go well if this is the current management culture.

The problem isn't that we can't kick him out as a flight school -- we have no obligation to let anyone fly our planes and work with our instructors ever, as far as I can tell -- but rather that the chief instructor appears to want to give this guy another chance, which is stupid and bad and I can't figure out why he's doing it. In my view, we have a responsibility to make sure the flight school is a safe and respectful place for instructors, students and staff, and I don't know why anyone in a position of responsibility would put this sad-sack's delusions above maintaining that.

If the Chief Instructor is so concerned with this guy, then he/she should have to deal with instructing him.
