idle downtime..
In response to hencloud's comments: (and I was going to ask it anyway), but typically what do employers expect their instructors to do during downtime when there's no bookings? I know everyone tends to help out cleaning and in the office, etc. but is this expected 100% of downtime or just a courtesy people do if they want to keep their jobs? Do many schools allow their pilot's to work elsewhere, i.e. at other schools if they've no bookings at their own? (I know of one that doesn't, just wondering if it's a rule. But they pay a retaining salary anyway, so probably are allowed to.)
Are all employers really that mercenary? Does it get better as you gain experience or do the 5000 hour guys get treated as badly too?
