"We haven't raised salaries in, I don't even know, years. It's frightening what these guys make," said Swaffer. "This is not a rich kid's hobby. These guys are struggling to make a living."

No wonder they cant find instructors, they themselves realize how fucked they treat instructors. Unreal.

Almost every flight school across the country still pays like shit. How many people will be motivated to spend $10K for an instructor rating with this pilots market? In the US ratings are being offered for commitments to instruct for a period of time. Wages and bonus's are on the rise too. Flight schools left and right are going to start closing doors in Canada and the only schools left will be ones with Asian contracts, but even then where do the instructors come from? Even pilot factories like Moncton Flight College are bitching about staffing. https://outline.com/xYHXzB Heres a thought, pony up some dough and make instructing a feasible career, dont brag how you never raise salaries.

Big changes are going to have to happen if this country is to keep up the demand. About fucking time

It's obvious inflation is coming. About time.
