I know we all deserve alot more money than we get, but speed 12 does have a point in that pushing up the costs of flying will mean less customers walking in through the door. As a country the UK is disadvantaged in having to pay 17.5% VAT on our flight training, wheras the rest of JAR don't. Trying to get this removed will be a start in providing a better margin in training and, hopefully a more realistic pay deal for the instructor.
