My friend who is a PPL instructor and is being paid at £20.00 per hour from off chocks to on chocks. It cost around £128.00/hr for dual flight on a pa38. I wonder how much does the owner gets out of £108 minus the fuel and maintenance cost? This is in North West region.
Just out of interest and NO disrespect to other professions. Just had a plumber fixing my central heating and charges £28.00 per hour and plus call out charge of £48.00. This is crazy! The amount of training and cost involved to be pilot instructor compared to a plumber is relatively big difference and they earn a lot more. Supply and demand i say.
The rich is getting richer, the poor is getting poorer! The only way I see for FI to sustain a decent living is to have a 2nd job or some sort of passive income. I feeling crazy myself too, because I want to be a Flight Instructor
