I actually enjoy instructing! I have got 1800 hours and have done it for about 3 years. I could now quit instructing and do it part time and get a well paid job doing something else and still apply for airlines, i have more total time than any airline usually asks for. What about if i wanted to do it for a career? Should i still be shafted? The reason why no one wants to do it for a carrer is that noone wants to be washing the bosses car for the rest of their life. If clubs/schools treated their instructors with respect they may hang on to them longer and get better quality of instructing from there instructors.
