Essouira since you ask.................

From another thread in this forum it transpires that there are a number of different categories of instructors. The vast minority of these are the instructors for life and a living. The majority uses it as a stepping stone to the airlines closely followed by those who do it just for fun.

Therein lies the answer to the question.

Interesting to see that Aces Low feels that the instructors subsidise the flying of the students..............!

Can we assume that he/she will have addressed this situation by paying extra when enjoying his/her training. For that matter have any of you that moan about instructor pay slipped your tutor an extra tenner in your days?

I think it is a more widespread belief that students actually subsidise the flying career of the instructor.

Instead of moaning about bad pay and bad treatment you could obviously consider getting yourself a proper job until you have saved the 30-50k for the necessary training.

I can tell you now, the view from your office is a lot better!
