Let's face it, hear in Oz 90% of Instructors are only building hours. Every hour that they fly with a student it is just one more hour in their log book on their way to a bigger aeroplane and a fatter pay cheque.
They lack experience, it is a case of babies teaching babies.

Having said that, there are other problems as well

The problem that schools are facing now is that the well of instructors seems to be drying up. They also no longer want to work anywhere except in major cities, no one wants to move out to the country areas, where there are many students, better weather, a short taxi to the runway where there is no queue and controlled airspace is only a short Nav away.

Country School also provide accommodation.

Anybody interested?
