FI rating on the cheap?!
Since learning to fly I have always wanted to instruct, however having just paid all the pennies to get this far I wll struggle to cough up the reddies to do so at the moment. Am I correct in thinking that all instructor ratings seem to float around the £5K mark? Is there anywhere of anyway of substantially reducing this? I originally thought that I had a way of doing this; I was going to work at the bar of a local fliying club and make use of cheap(er) staff discount rates, however the upsatirs of the company say that this won't now be possible. Alternatively I would perhaps find the idea of spending this much money a bit easier to swallow if I could find a school who could almost guarantee an instucting job at the end of it, I haven't found anywhere so far...but has anybody any good experiences like this? Or is it back to the magic right place ...right time script?
Any input would be gratefully recieved,
Cheers,
