Hello,
I read the shortage of FI in UK.
I am french and it is becoming the same thing in France.
But here most of FI are free, I mean they are not paid like in UK.
I woud like to become an airline pilot, I passed my ATPL theory etc.
It would be a great idea for me to teach other students and fly to build hours.
But it is a problem where "the dog bites its tail", I mean FI is good job, but when I noticed the crap pay, I don't want to do this job! In fact, I can't.
Why ? Just because I must to pay my training, so my loan!
So FI course is not even a plan B for me.
I'm sure flight dispatcher is better remunerated... but... you don't fly...
