Making a living as an FI?
Being realistic, what is the likelihood af actually making a living as an instructor? And i don't mean working self empoyed for a retainer and an hourly fee. I understand in Scotland in particular there is a shortage of instructors, would it not make sense to for FTO's to actually employ instructors, to stop them leaving for the airlines ASAP so they can actually afford to feed themselves? I passed my PPL skills test this week, and in total had 11 instructors throughout my training. I'm not convinced it's a healthy state of affairs for the industry to be in.
