3. The flying school in Adelaide is severely constrained by a huge shortage of flying instructors in Australia. The pilot shortage in Australia is now approaching a critical stage with all sectors now starting to have difficulty attracting suitably qualified candidates.

Gee, . . . I bet that if the pay for flight instructors were raised you would magically find all sorts of qualified, well experienced, instructor pilots come out of the woodworks, especially retired airline pilots. It's all about money, because these retired chaps wouldn't be interested in "building hours."
