Its hard acting as if you are on 30 grand a year when in reality you're on less than 10. That - in a nutshell - is the difference.
WWW,

I don't see that. What are you getting at?

Of course flying instructors should be paid more; no-one here would query that. But are you saying that your hour-building FI goes out to a lesson thinking: "Well, I'm only making 10 quid for this, so I won't really bother; I'll fly but I'll just look out of the window and snap at Bloggs occasionally and count the minutes till I can go look at that mag and check out the latest airline vacancies. On the other hand, if I was getting £40 an hour plus a retainer, I'd spend the hour trying to work out why Bloggs is REALLY having such problems with landing and hasn't gone solo yet".

That makes no sense, WWW. Please explain yourself!
