Point taken! No problem, I havent taken offensive.
And yes you are right, I may be a little naive in that I have only seen this from a ppl pilots point of view. It wasn't until I started reading some posts on here that I realized what the pay situation was!
I have been flying for 10 years and the quality of instruction over that time has generally been excellent. Just recently however, I have had a couple of very bored instructors who have openly admitted that they hate sitting in a PA28 all day long. I was not very impressed as I was paying £160/hr for the privilege.
I am one of a few around who would love to instruct but cannot obtain a class 1 medical and therfore cannot get paid for it. I am however willing to get an instructor rating and CPL ground exams and volunteer my services. I think I would be very good at it. I teach for a living and love flying.
It appears this may be more difficult to acheive than I had originally thought!
