Limiting instructors to 100 hrs per year would have meant it would take 10-13 years for that instructor to qualify to move on to an airline (assuming 300-500 hours at the time that CFI starts instructing, and only builds hours by instruction). What an insane restriction that would have been.

They may not get why now, but that’s how they’ll sign their very first check — or maybe even someday, a bill that gets to the Governor’s desk (trust me, you’ll want good penmanship for that).
