I'd suggest paying by the flying hour on short term contract with no incentives towards the basic health of the business would be an obvious cuplrit.
If paying by the flying hour were the main factor, then I'd expect the FIs to be jumping on the punter to take him up for a trial flight.
It's got to be a general attitute problem, rather than a payment terms problem. (Yes, that is still something the management need to deal with).
I guess the attitude is based on a certain amount of lazyness and lack of forethought on the part of the hour-building types: They're there to fly, they're not focused on the customer - they're
not there to
BE instructors.
I do agree that the lack of loyalty and business awareness isn't helped by small pay cheques, but it isn't the only factor. Some people simply need training in business and customer awareness.
