After joining the flying club and my last CFI being gone for two weeks, I've started flying with a CFI who is also a club member. This avoids some insurance and paperwork hassles, his availability matches mine better, and he's got a lot of experience instructing. My last guy had me do touch & gos for something like 7 hours solid before finally signing me off for solo flying. So I'm flying a 172 now instead of Cherokees, and it looks like we'll be finishing up over the next couple of weeks.
Tonight we were going to knock out the dual X/C, dual night and dual night landings in one shot. As it happens we made a no-go call due to weather. No biggie. But as we're at the FBO going over the route and all, my last CFI shows up. We say hello, etc. He asks if I'll be flying with my new CFI from now on, I tell him yes. He asks to see my logbook. I was busy with other stuff and kind of wondered why, but slid it down the counter. Next thing I know, he's scratched out the PA-28 solo endorsement on my medical and voided the solo endorsements he signed in the back of my logbook.
To borrow a phrase from Captain... is this guy a jerk? Or is that something that's common? Kind of ****ed me off, to be honest. My current CFI kind of looked puzzled and wondered why the hell he'd have done that, said he'd never heard of it.
