Lady in Red: I'm quite in the agreement with the concept of instructors freelancing but I also know that it cannot
be applied unless those who work as full-time instructors have their employment contracts renegotiated as such.
I know from personal experience that some people prefer to be taught by one or two particular instructors.
Your proposal makes sense for those with a CPL and with some minor adjustment for public liability insurance, it would work.
However, I suspect that given the choice between freelancers and employees, most FTOs would opt for employees
and profit from the arrangement somehow.
As for engineer's rates, it is a simple case of rarity and convenience of location. We as instructors cannot
use their model because for a start, there are far too many of us
