...flight instructors should unionize and force the industry to recognize the importance of our contribution to the aviation industry. They can get their sorry arses into these small planes with some of these hopeless pilot wannabees and put their lives on the line for a change. And the salary is not the issue it is the way the schools treat their instructors with what they are paying us. And the first thing that goes wrong its our arses and careers that are on the line...its time to unite!
