Eyeinthesky where do you get "as low as £500 a month" who did you work for they were very generous.and only 500 hrs in two years.I am not knocking you,but most of the instructors I have been assoiciated with myself included have had many a £100 pound month in the winter,but an average of 900 plus a year.I know over the max and yes I had my fingers wrapped for it by the authority.Instructing is never going to be well paid but it has its ups.Do a propper job then you will enjoy not earning anything instructing all the more Bye for now
