Chuck, I can think of a few like that here in the UK as well.

18greens makes an excellent point, why just because there is a shortage of experienced FI's do the "powers that be" suddenly decide that a lowering of qualifications required is a good thing?

How come a driving instructor can earn a good living, but a flying instructor cannot.

The situation is ridiculous and I for one am glad there is a shortage. At last we have a chance to keep the dedicated people in this industry, but to do it, you have to pay them at least a living wage, instead of forcing everyone to move on at the earliest opportunity.
