Speaking from my own perspective, the rate and manner in which I am paid is
pathetic. I do not even class myself as having a proper 'job', such is my lowly status on the employment front.
A salaried position within a flying school should not be too much to expect. A few FTO's do this in the UK but not nearly enough, mainly for the reasons Keygrip mentioned.
Just as an aside, for those currently struggling with the current weather conditions across the UK - you are entitled to claim Job Seekers Allowance if you work less than 16 hours per week. If you are paid per flying hour this might be something you are entitled to. £57/week - not to be sniffed at.
Think about all the VAT ya paid on your training.
VFE.
