Isn't it interesting that the shortage of instructors does not lead to livable wages and a long term career for keen dedicated flying instuctors.

Rather the cry is to reduce the qualifications required to allow the tape and shoestring operation to carry on.

And yes there is a big big shortage of people willing to pay £30,000 to become an instructor to earn £10,000 per year (and maybe get a job flying for an airline)

Basically the whole flying thing is all hung together by people who volunteer their time to teach people how to fly free because they just love it.

And if you can't take a joke, shouldn't have joined.
