Overflow
The supply and demand situation is such that there is an "oveflow" of newbies, with or without instuctor ratings. Many new instructos are expected to beat the bushes, and find their own students in order to get some work for themselves. So the oveflow inceases, and things get worse.
One of the best things Prune does is povide feedback from those in the system, to those who consider joining it.
A very bright light on the horizon is the possibility of training real oveseas airline pilots, like CHINESE etc. If we do it right, and our govt stops intefering.
