Instructor Shortage.
Interesting to see in today's Australian Aviation section an ad entitled "Rusty Flying Instructors".
There is a shortage of well qualified instructors and there has been a number of ads in the media but this one goes a step further by offering to get you current again for FREE and give you a full-time position. Almost an offer too good to be true!
The organisation is the Royal Aero Club of WA and there would certainly be worse places to be than Perth. Who knows but they may also be paying above award salary and treating people like human beings!
Anyway seems the worm is definitely turning reflected by the pilot shortage right through the industry both domestically and internationally at present.
Pilot training is fast becoming a bit of an issue, is anyone else out there having trouble finding a good reasonably experienced instructor who is readily available?
