What fantastic news. I considered taking this line last year but never did as I moved up in the instructing world.
Well done that man for pursuing this.
On the matter of putting people out of business I just don't agree. If it's good enough for the cleaners it should damn well be good enough for instrcutors.
People often overlook the flight safety issue of this problem. Having FI's paid by the flying hour, without the protection of AoC of FTL's, when they owe large amounts of money to the bank and are paid below the minimum wage is SURELY not a desireable state of affairs.
I shall follow this with interest - please keep us updated.
