The reason I asked about the increased experience was because of my ratings. I'm and ATPL(H), IFR, multi-experience, off-shore right now in Africa, and have about 900 hrs of instructional time thus far. I enjoy the instructing life and was trying to compare what the options were in different parts of the globe.. .. .Specific cost comparisons I'd be interested in are as above: rent, house prices, average grocery bills, automobile prices, etc.. .. .As a comparison, my last ab initio job in Canada was paying $50.00 per flight hour, no base. It was not pleasant.. .. .Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
