So as not to get all you Brits pi..ed off at me I will give my opinion on why flight instruction is getting less affordable and of a lower quality here in Canada.

The high cost:: .....

( 1 ) To many high taxes and user fees, ( government speak for more tax. )

( 2 ) To many Employees in Government making more and more stupid paper work and stupid requriements.

( 3 ) Another reason is that Canada has become the human garbage collection point of the world, due to our stupid refugee claim system. Hence more and more money required to support the garbage we cannot get rid of. Therefore less money available for the taxpayer to receive the services we are paying taxes for.

Quality of instruction:

The quality of instruction will be in direct porportion to the experience and skills level of the flight instructors available.

Should there be a higher level of experience required for the issuance of an instructors rating?

Hey... I realize the foregoing is a very simplistic overview, but has merit if you examine it.
