dartagnan, nice summary, but where will the flight instructors for the clubs come from now??
good questions, instructors come from the time, where everyone were paying lot of money to become an airline pilot, and the very few chap with a head on their shoulder,have instead invested money in a FI course.
the other guys from airlines, are now without jobs , and without 500 hours as a fi, it' s very hard to find a job as a flight instructor.
the result there is less instructors on this market. instructors are paid 2x time more than 10 years ago, included examiners.
One day, a flight instructor will be paid a fortune, let's say 6000$/month, instead of the 3000-4000$ I have seen.
everybody says flight instructing sucks! I have met several flight instructors who are now happy to fly.
anyway, just keep flying...dont' give up.
