I don't disagree instructors ideally in a real world should be paid more, but GA in this country is already under pressure from fuel prices, regulatory charges so any further price rises from increased instructor wages is only going to set back GA further.
Figures show people undertaking PPL courses has reduced in the last few years so anything that increases prices further really needs to be avoided.
SAS your suggestions are more likely to wipe GA of the face of the country than promote it.

SAS by the fact your profiles states you fly a 737 I would also assume you yourself were once an hour builder.
