C-I-M,
come on, wake up.
there are a few instructors who do it part time and just for the enjoyment:whilst the vast majority see it as a stepping stone to airlines,
Do you think we enjoy getting paid £10,000 a year to risk our necks flying light aircraft (oh yes and getting paid sod all when the weather is bad)
Or that we enjoy driving battered cars with 100k miles on them ans seeing students arrive in porsches and ferraris ?
There must be an a motive: progression !
And as a student you are probably totally wrapped up in the beauty of flight:for us it is a job which has good and bad bits like any job (your own included)
But the beauty of flight blah, blah doesn't pay my damn mortgage does it ?:
