ok i have read some comments but i am not fluent in english so maybe i did not understand very well what you said...

So if i understand, pay of instructors in UK is bad...but do you know that in france most of instructors (maybe 90%) are free ?? sad truth... because here, the flying club are association.
so most of instructors get a an another job.

and if i understand is there a lack of instructors in UK ?? so is it "easy" to become an instructor in UK ? because I think I will do FI rating...

In France the situation is :

The french CAA (DGAC) will want that most of instructors get just a PPL..not CPL!!
why ?? beacause CPL are paid!! and not PPL !! and the students do not pay an instructor, that is why the prices of hourly rates are more low than in UK...
and the second reason, instructors with a CPL, left flying club when they find an airline job whereas instructors with just PPL stay longer...

so if in UK there is a lack of instructors and plus they are paid, I am quickly doing a FI course!!
