Instructor shortage?
Hello ladies and gentleman,
Just a very easy question and it goes to Flight Instructores in Europe. Is there a shortage of flight instructores in Europe? the reasone I ask is because we have a shortage in US right now, so I just wanted to compare with the European market.
Thank you for your time and don't be shy to drop a line
Good Luck!

Indeed...
Yes there is...at least in my FTO. We're hunting at least 4 folks, possibly ME/IR CRIs and a reasonable level of English. Judging from my personal point of view I start to change my mind about this job: after 1+ yr with no joy it's now time to make some cash and live decently on FI's wages...Airlines can wait a bit longer and hopefully the well reputated "long-way to RHS" in the FAA land will become common practice here too.

I just left a danish FTO for a FO position , and I know they are in need of instructors and I think it is going to get worse. A lot of the new pilots are going directly for TRSS. At least in Denmark that is...Maybe that will raise the pay a bit, making it more interresting!?!

Yes there is. If only the pay reflected the shortage. But such is life. I suppose if the pay was attractive, there would be shortage of students because flying costs would go up. Catch 22 I suppose.

So, my next question would be how will this flight instructor shortage affect the booming industry at the moment????
These are my 2 cents,
The sypply can not keep up with the demand.
Good luck to all you and have safe landings
