When I gained my Grade 3, I had no job, and a family of 5 to look after. Less than 3 week s later I had 27 students, and I was flying 10-12 hours per week. It got to a point where I was actually turning students away. There are many ways to get students.
Also, when you think about it, with a majority of fresh pilots heading north, it would probably leave a bit of a hole in the instructor population. Aside from what others may post, instructing is great fun, and a great learning experience, but inevitably, to move on in the industry, charter is the way to go.
If yo want some pointers on how to get some students, just send a carton of Crownies to me, a bottle of Baileys (for the wife), and contact me on
