FI Pay.
What's the going rate for rotary FI(R)s in the north of the UK at the moment? It seems to have been about £30/hour for years and years and years. Have flying schools heard of inflation? Is anyone getting any more? And while I'm asking, what about when I finally get rid of the restriction?
If we've discussed this recently and I missed it, please direct me to the thread and I'll delete this one. But I did a search and couldn't find anything posted on it in the last few years.

Agree with H-R. £40/hr is both the minimum and the average these days, and that seems to have been the rate for a few years now, and thats from a good cross section of schools. However, don't expect it to change when you get derestricted, just expect more work to come your way.
£30 (or £20 - £30 mentioned in another thread) ....
The climate is good for instructing - most fresh instructors coming out their courses are securing positions immediately if not before completion. All good news for the industry

Don't wish to be pedantic but you can't have £40 per hour as a minimum AND an average because, as Whirly states, she is getting £30 per hour which will bring down the average (and is obviously the minimum!!) 
However, if £40 is the average, it implies there are some people getting more than that so some negotiation is in order.

Actually, I love being pedantic! Sorry!

@ whirlyI should have added, "in my experience", and I should have used the term "mode"
But yes, there certainly are people getting more than that, and these busy times would seem an opportune time to renegotiate if an instructor so desired. Day rates are becoming slightly more common now in the instructing environment, particularly for those that travel.
