Well a raw nerve in the QFI column - never let it be said.
As CFI says the smaller quality institutions are the organisations that will find the renumeration harder as the Electric Dick and continual changes take place. My problem here was a low class operation commenced QFI training flooding a small population base with very cheap instructors. (These guys only get $15 per flying hour) The CFI does'nt care and wants out but the younger guys grab the time they can - it is obvious they will move on. The result is any possible 'quality' instruction is too expensive and therefore cannot afford the QFI's needed.
It is a situation which needs the older organisations to close (they will never get money for goodwill) and allow the new orgainsations to grow.
Don't forget a grade one QFI should be worth around $ 65000 - $ 70000 per annum - but thats alot of students. Perhaps that is what is needed, training the "kids" the conditions in a real prostituing industry.
