this is more in line with what I was thinking.

That I do. I often tel her I appreciate her teaching style. She brought my son with us for a lesson and that really meant a lot. it was a great father son experience for me.

Good point. I am a private wealth advisor. I don't get "tips" but I do occasionally get sent gifts of appreciation. Much like lawyers and maybe doctors do. cant wait to be your CFI!

Can't stress this enough. Was what got me out of my "phobia". Easier said than done but it really is what it is. If your desire to fly is greater than your phobia, then it'll conquer.

OK after reading these few comments I am ok. I wanted to make sure there wasn't some sort of etiquette with Student/CFI working relationship like most/many service based sectors. Very good points made here, thanks!

Good point. She is earning her hours while she gets paid.

Haaaa Absolutely not. Never crossed my mind. I am sure there is a big age gap as well, was never interested to find out. So, no, that is not a driving point for my question.

Hello all, I am 10 hours in and I really love my CFI. She gets me but I love how she teaches and answers all my questions that are all over the place. Just a good fit. (I don't know any better, she has been my one and only CFI although Id like to take some lessons here and there with others...

Just following up on this again..... I have not gone back to the DoCs. The Zulu's are awesome and I haven't even thought about the Bose, or buying one for that matter. This does it for me and is super comfortable (I wear it over a hat).

I thought Id stop by and share an update to this thread... I believe I have come a long long way and I am super proud. My CFI made a comment this that put it all into perspective for me. I have been working on myself (well, actually my fear). The last three flights were quite rough, one...

This is an interesting angle. I haven't stopped here for updates as I am busy flying and learning. But I do want to share an update on the second post of this topic I had.

haha, what do you mean? Get people messed up?

Awesome and scary at the same time. I guess it’s all about practice and experience that will help navigate and fight through these extremes. No mountains by my so haven’t take that factor into consideration as of yet.

Well, I did say "Ugh...right now??" and she simply said "Yes". So, as a good student, I did! hahahah

Kinda relief lol
