Know the feeling! I work at a school where we get an attendance fee so even though it is still peanuts if the weather is bad we get something. Things have started to change here as well due to there being three full time instructors all with well over 1000 hours each so we are all fed up of taking s**t from the manger and CFI who are taking £50000 between them in wages for doing nothing!! They want us to teach ground school in the evenings, which we are all willing to do, but they said they would only pay us £20 for 2.5 hours work, we have stuck together and demanded a min of £50 for the evenings work or no ground school! So the three of us are now sticking together and gradually forcing out a liveable wage. What would be better is there was an instructors union for the country where we could all come together and say NOone is learning to fly until there is a decent wage for us poor b****ards who fly around in the freezing cold in 30 year old bug bashers!
