Surprise, surprise - Once again the subject is pay. How many times has this been discussed in this forum? And what do you all do about it?
NOTHING as usual.
The only reason flying schools get away with scandalous salaries is because there's always someone who's willing to do the job for free. The instructors who work for free are not doing GA or themselves any favour's.
Whats needed badly (and has been for some years) is a Flying Instructor Union. A minimum salary should be established and any schools not willing to pay the salary won't get any instructors and will cease to operate - good riddance.
I don't like to point the finger, but to a certain extent you instructors bring it on yourselves. If your wages are so poor, why do you continue to instruct?
