There is indeed a portion of the customer base who do wish to solo as quickly as possible
and accuse the instructors of all sorts of personal agendas when they don't.
Their goal is to get away from a 2 seater as quickly as possible and permanently.
These people just know everything about the sport, and their inability to soar is put down to the inadequacies of committee, site, club, fleet, launch, weather...
On the other end of the spectrum, there is scope to introduce low hour pilots to the real payoffs in having the experience, skill, will to squeeze all the potential out of the available list above.
The tension between the two is to find the right level for the individual pilot.
