Oh, and by the way there is no lack of flying instructors at SFT that I know of, certainly was not when I was training.
Although when I did my CPL some people were affected by aircraft availability for complex single, at the time they negociated to borrow as required two extra Arrows so have solved the bottleneck. Also I suspect the problem exists everywhere - the new JAA requirement for complex type in training and test has made the types scarce, and SFT I understand had difficulty sourcing aircrarft.
