As a current Tayside instructor, I said it in the original thread and I'll say it again - I walked into this with my eyes open and I have no complaints now. Of course I'd like to be paid more - if there was an across-the-board wage increase for instructors in this country I'd be the first to applaud, but why oh why is Tayside being picked on here? The pay structure here is a damn sight better than many, many PPL flying schools in this country and a few of the so called professional ones as well. The hours you can log at Tayside in the summertime are truly astonishing and the RAF cadets are a breeze to instruct.
Now if we're gonna go pointing fingers and mudslinging, what about you Cabair instructors - who, RUMOUR has it, just got a 20% pay CUT the other week? By my calculations, I reckon Taysiders are a damn sight better off. The silence is deafening ...
