G'day Biz
We charge $90 per instructor hour and our G1 instructors are paid $37 per flying hour...
.... on top of a retainer of about $45k, which means the CFI is on about $90k, G1s about $75k, G3 about $45k. There again, instruction is more a hobby for us and we each do about 700 hours pa of "other" flying.
Why would you add a Flying school to your AOC?
Ask yourself this: Can your staff offer something special, something "over and above" to the flying students out there or are you going to be just another business milking the aviation consumer?
There are plenty of schools filling the second category
