If it is all so short sighted, how (or why) do people become CPL/IR/ME instructors? Are they all retired airline pros?
Do the schools then rely on 250 hr ATPLS for PPL, and 10k+ hr 60+ yr ex V-Force ex Concorde jocks with large BA/Singapore/Emirates pensions to do the advanced stuff?
Nick/Az - good luck to you. I take it you have private incomes!
