There is a shortage of instructors and if I have read correctly ( FTN ) we are going back to the old system where a PPL with an instructor rating can earn. Which is great for the flying schools and the dedicated PPLs who want to do it. However most of students are fairly middle aged and succesful in what they do. Which means they are prepared to instruct for free as it is a hobby. As I can see it this devalue the FIs pay even more!
