As one who comes from an industry where new civilian pilots that think they want to make aviation a career often start as flight instructors, training other new pilot-wannabes, I can attest to the seriousness of this misunderstanding. In my almost-45 years in the business, including 25+ years in the DOT regulatory agency that makes and enforces the rules, I never understood why new flight instructors, often with less than 300-500 total flight hours (for the uninitiated, this is like the first 6 months driving a truck) most of which have been logged in training, are allowed to teach others like them.
Like an 80,000 pound truck in inexperienced hands, an airplane can be very unforgiving in bad situations. That knowledge, alone, will keep me out of either the CDL trainer or instructor seat for a very long time.

It's easy: Enjoy your "great guy" while you are "young." As you get older, the crankiness appears. I haven't been called a "great guy" in decades!
