Thank you for your patience.
1.How much does an FI earn?
I know schools and countries vary and it also depends on experience but I would appreciate it greatly if anyone could let me know- particularly the rates in Ireland, England and Spain.
2. Whats the retirement age for Commercial Pilots?
Apologies if this has been posted before and thanks for any replies.

Jo there is a Flying instructors forum on here a bit further down and this has been discussed before . But with regards to pay it can be anything from the square root of sweet FA to about 40 grand . Soem schools pay small retainers and by the flying hour others pay by hour only and some are salaried . Most PPL instructors are on between 10 and 15 grand PA tops , although some may be on more . If you are fully spammed up and can teach CPL/IR MCC etc then you can get quite an nice salary from the big schools .
I will be corrected if Im wrong but retirement for commercials is 60 for single crew and 65 for multi crew I think this is a recent change too
