i dont agree with any of you, you can make loads of money as an fi as long as you have all the right endorsements on your fi rating; two years ago i had the chance to join a prestigiuos uk flight school as a multi ir and sim instructor (as i had all the qualifications), the pay would have worked out at about 70 - 95000 (42000 basic + about 40 per hr of flying), i declined and joined an airline instead might have been a mistake; ive since had other similiar offers (not quite as good). there are very few career instructors out there with all the ratings and experience ie meir. as a basic ppl instructor at the moment its very difficult to make a bob but give it a couple of years struggling get the endorsements and the sky s the limit.
tip: at the moment the best place to make money as a ppl fi is def ireland, flying school that is not a club obviously, usually about 250 euro a week retainer + approx 25 per flying hour.
hope this helps.
