MK10, I can assure you that £50/hr is being earned by some R22 instructors. Don't know what's funny about it. Yes some people only get paid £25-£30 hr but hey, if you're happy earning SFA for the flying, and still having to pay all of those reval/licensing costs etc, then carry on! You might get £30/hr as an unrestricted instructor but if anyone else is only being paid that to instruct, I suggest they request a payrise.
TipWeight, it just so happens a job may be coming up in the near future but not prepared to discuss it on this site. I'm sure you wouldn't want to instruct full time?
The good employers know how to keep the staff happy.
