I have just finished my IR and after spending £350 per hour in a GA7 i have no problem in asking for a suitable wage, a wage i can live on after investing 45k.
I don't expect 30k but 12k would be nice after 3 years instructing.
An increase in the price of £450 would not put people off flying if that was their passion and goal and maybe if the wage was more realistic more instructors could spend MORE time with students than worrying about getting the next one off to feed themselves.
If daddy didn't pay for your flying you all know what i mean.
This wouldn't happen in France,the fireman at the airfield aswell as the ATC(don't we know it) would all back us to the end.
In France GA flourishes!!!!
Vive la France and off wiz zer eds
ps.the sight of being overtaken by the poor owner who claims poverty, overtaking my AX in their Ferrari doesn't help
