Anyone care to assess the state of things now we are in the run up to Summer? Yes I know we had snow this week!

Is the throughput of instructors still as high as it has been over the past two years? Or are positions now being held onto given the airlines seem to have stopped hoovering completely everyone up.

As an aside, I know two guys who each started their instructor job about 6 months ago. One is talking about leaving for better money elsewhere whilst the other has gone part-time and is working in an office. Surely this has not come as a result in reduced available flying hours? Has it?

In a further act of thread drift, who here holds another job?

Sorry I am having a slight lack of faith this evening. I am looking for inspiration whilst I await (for my first ever FI job) the result on one interview and hold onto two further, but more limited options. Incidentally I am well placed for two licensed airfields, but thereafter the road commute becomes an hour or more for the next nearest 4.
