Lady in red
possibly one explanation could be that the guy who can afford all these gadgets and aspires to own and fly a new aeroplane has earned his money by being successful and not putting up with **** from anyone
Couldn't have put it better myself
However - if an instructor has spent £60k, surely he/she is aiming for an airline job and will clear off the instant one turns up. Instructing is just a subsidised route to an ATPL, for someone who doesn't have the cash to do it the full-time training route but has a few years to play with.
Nobody would spend £60k to become a PPL instructor - would they??
