And I'm saying that it's extremely unlikely that anybody is going to discount flight instructing time. Name one place in the US that doesn't recognize dual given?

Yes this is true, I actually saw an app once that said, dual given, pipeline patrol, or glider/banner towing will not be considered flight experiance towards qualifying (I assume because its single engine/mostly VFR/ time) and in the case of flight instructing they see it as sitting in the right seat riding along. (I am absolutly not saying this is right, I'm just stating the facts), so basically they wanted to know what your multi engine real flying times were (read cross country, instrument) and not much else, I wont debate whether its for better or worse, but the fact is the industry and hiring practices are changing...the definition of a qualified pilot changes almost weekly anymore....
Most of my instructing is uneventful but there are a small handful of times with flight students who will suddenly 1) stop listening to me 2) start doing their own little thing or 3) try to kick my ass for the flight controls---
and that flight time is not going to count??!! SCREW THEM!
