instructor or not, the market is the same for everybody.

as long airlines don't hire, flight schools have problems to train their students. Students will delay their training, etc.resulting no or less job for flight instructors.

in UK, I have many friends who were instructors, they had to give up, it doesn't pay enough for a living.

the main problem in this profession are the salaries, they are too low.
It's not possible to start in this profession anymore, training is too expensive.

whatever you choose in aviation, you are screwed.I was a captain, it' s harder and harder for us to find a job and have a decent life.Soon, captains will have to pay to fly. Some of my friends pay already for their sim check, hotels,...

To fly is wonderful but this profession became .
