Guys - Interesting and on-going debate
Why not see what EASA brings as regards to PPL instructors
I have been on both sides of the debate. When I was a PPL I did not relish the cost or time and sacrifice involved in gaining the (what I considered to be unnecessary) cpl. But I did distance learning, sold my car and got on with it. Now that I have done the hard work I can see it from the other perspective and don't wish to see my hard work and effort eroded for those who haven't been as focused or determined. There is a difference in skill level and knowledge between CPL and PPL whether you care to admit that or not.
Bottom line - if I was still a PPL I would vote for PPL instructors (and I have some sympathy with th case put forward).
Please don't tarnish all CPL Instructors as hateful young hour builders who hate PPL students, that is BoŁŁoc$s
If market forces and current regulations are left alone then Instructors pay should rise, if not and we allow PPL instructors then that should lead to lower costs for students and instructing for free.
