I regularly fly with an instructor at least one hour per month. This keeps me from picking up any bad habits and taking those easy short cuts. Even if the instructor has only 400 hrs, I would bet he is a better pilot than 75 percent of the pilots on that airport. He is paying attention to what you are doing, not how well he flys. I've flown with 200 hour private pilots that fly light airplanes better than 15000 hour airline pilots.
I have 7500 hours flying in all conditions, have owned 172's 260 Comanches, 414 Cessnas, and 401 Cessnas. I'm no "rookie". My instructor regularly points out thing I could do better. A pilot who thinks he can't learn any thing from another pilot or instructor, doesn' need to be flying anything. He is an accident waiting to happen. Read my comment under the Emergency section of this forum and you will see why I started flying with an instructor once a month for an hour. Please do not take this the wrong way, we can alway learn and we can learn everytime we fly.
