Aces Low..........
You say " will always be so until students pay the proper rate ......
Would it be more accurate to substitute the word "Students" with "Flying schools" ?
My local club charge £160 per hour for an hours training in a PA28-160. The instructor is paid £8.50 for the first 20 hrs and £12 from 20 -60 hrs !!!
Won't be long before they start sending them up chimney's
