Again, I didnt mean to imply I can guarantee it, and I have not. I
have had students do lots of stupid things, there is no way to make
everyone a perfect pilot. Heck, I did stupid s**t when I was a
student.

What I am trying to say is there are some people with the wrong
attitude that should not be signed off...even if they can fly like Bob
Hoover. A CFI should be on the lookout for those dangerous attitudes.
