Am I missing something??
I don't see that this will spectacularly change the situation? My understanding is that at present, to be paid an instructor needs:
PPL + ~100hrs + ATPL's (CPL Groundstudy) + CPL + FI
Now he/she will need:
PPL + 200hrs + FI
Are we not just arguing the difference in cost between an extra 100hrs (ideally not burnt through a Florida sky) compared against CPL/ATPL Groundstudy + CPL rating? I don't see much difference?
If there are many experienced PPL holders out there who wish to teach, they could do it now, only unpaid (the salary isn't that attractive and if there is a massive influx of labour then it's not exactly going to get any better so I can't see that attracting many). Beyond the main issue that pay is low, an instructor also needs to be available from any other commitment - so how many experienced PPL holders will actually go for it?
