£5 an hour for briefing, you are joking! I have heard of plenty of clubs not charging at all for briefings. Where i work we charge £20 an hour for any ground briefings, of which we only get £7 but we are on a good retainer which wacks it up a bit. Even so i am well fed up with the disrespect we get from our employers who cannot even taxi an aircraft so i am now moving on to bigger and better things! I remeber i read something in a BALPA mag saying there is someone at BALPA trying to get a union for instructors organised, maybe worth getting in contact.
