The club exists because of my money
Hardly a business formula that can be emulated by others then.
I set the prices to pay the bills
Excluding the wage bills obviously.
Won't give you the hours toward the right hand seat of course.
Just because someone might have further ambitions does not mean they should be abused. Using this logic everyone who was not at the pinnacle of their career would be forced by their 'employer' to work for free.
The "best" Instructors I have come across have always been the most experienced. There are very few of us who could get to that level without getting paid.
Totally agree. Have also come across many excellent 'wanabee' instructors.
Most clubs I have seen are beset with politics and ego's and some are the least welcoming places I have ever found myself
Again totally agree.

If you want professional training then pay the man his money! (or woman)

Have a look at the thread about 'career instructors'. It is no surprise to me that there do not seem to be that many around.
