I did not realize I needed to have aviation qualifications before asking about (ie, moaning, as you put it) the state of the instructor market. That aside, am I wrong with the impression I'm getting that it's nowhere near competitive?
It used to be a great stepping stone to the airlines, but less so now, they are not interested in 000s of hours of single time.its an irrelevance mainly to operating a modern airliner.
Is it, really? Do you look at it as hours of single time? Or do you look at it as evidence of the desire and ability to teach others? Do you want a sh!t hot pilot who can't teach for squat or do you want a good pilot who can pass on his skills to others?
