Please Please do some reading into the job first! if you wish to contact me please do and i'll give you a more indepth view.

i have been in the aviation business for x years and have seen many instructors being paid a bread and water wage. the majority are paid hourly (when they fly!) and therefore can only earn when the club is busy and when the weather is good. the later normally the worse. through the winter it can be really hard.

also what may of an even bigger bearing on your dilemma is the national licence! rumours suggest that they may allow PPL instructors!! these will be PPL flyers who have not paid for the CPL or ATPL and doing it for FUN!!!!and it will satisfy there urge without paying for it!! they will require little or NO wage!!! if this happens the clubs will be able to advertise cheaper courses to increase demand but the poor instructor who has bothered to do it properly by getting the right paperwork may litterally be out in the cold.

be carefull young one
