Sorry Stall-Turn, but you have simply stated the facts of life which ain’t going to change for the better in the short term.
We operate in an industry with exceptionally low margins and an over supply of instructors.
I suspect that the instructors laid off at the other two establishment operated by your company would be more than happy to be flying right now for the sort of retainer and flying pay you are enjoying….all be it low, to say the least.. .Your company has seen a significant downturn in business added to the loss of the RAF contract, so be thankful that you are still there.
As DB6 says you work for one of the better owners.
Fact is, PPL instruction is not going to earn you your fortune and if the boat is rocked , it could cost us the ability to fly.
You know the rules, and they haven’t changed since you started the game.
Sorry.
