Thanks for the input.
Colin, we are a club/RTF based at Cumbernauld Aitport near Glasgow. WE have a unique structure to try and develop as a good facility no t just for students and members but also instructors and aircraft owners.
I have posted this thread in the 'private flying' to try and get a fair result.
We want to keep and maintain the sim, but also have aspirations of eventually getting it approved by CAA (Already FAA approved!).
The instructor rate makes little difference to the club as the majority is passed to the instructor anyway - the only aspect of the instructor rate is reflected by the percieved value of someone who is paying for it - THE STUDENT.
I would rather get the decission right and agreed with the instructors than marketing a tool that people then think the instructors are 'milking'! We have a very open atmosphere at our place and infairness to the instructors I do not want them being shown in a bad light - we have an excellent team which uniquely has been with us from DAY ONE !(+ quite a few additions).
