I just might rephrase that a little -
I would expect that most of the new
CPL/frozenATPL instructors are low hours/low experience, looking for
any flying to pad out their thin log-books. I don't believe that there is a pool of experienced philanthropists out there, keen to instruct every hour that God sends.
Talking philanthropy I reckon the biggest philanthropists are those who invest an absolute fortune in order to gain a professional licence in the fervant hope that some airline will eventually hire them An airline that has gained a flight crew member without making any investment in the individuals training costs.
Its a funny old world.
