With the advent of JAR and the requirements both for PPLs to have a dual check to renew, plus making it harder to maintain an F.I. rating, AND the fact it is no longer the short cut to an Airline job, I don't think it will be long beforewe see instructor rates go up. I think the probable scenario for the future is a split, with some schools charging more, and using full time (& better paid) instructors, and other schools charging less and using part timers.
