BC minimum wage to reach $15.20, meaning that BC flight instructors will soon make less than a minimum wage employee

I'll agree with you on the video, with gopros it's really improved analysis for post flight briefings

[C.W.E.]

For sure the video is unbeatable as a teaching tool.

You people are lucky to have the new modern video cameras, the fu..... abortions I used were a pain in the ass to set up but well worth the effort in the long run.

Same with teaching instrument flight.

Two stage amber is a pain in the ass to install and remove but well worth the effort because they could not cheat by looking around a hood and a hood is unorthodox period.

If you're not giving that much ground you're not doing the flight instructor part right.

Look at aerobatics, airline, military, etc, much more time talking about what you're going to be doing and analyzing what you did than stick time, also it makes the stick time (the expensive part) yield more of a bang for your buck.

If you're not doing much work with your student outside of the airplane, you're short changing your student as well as your wallet. Also you're not really a instructor, just crash preventer who watches the Hobbs tick by for that "great" airline job.

Some are like this. Often While surfing instagram on their phones.

Maybe that's only worth 30 bucks an hour. And maybe some are worth 100 bucks an hour.

My unpopular opinion......

If your instructor is doing something on his phone not related to your lesson, fire his ass.

Remember he works for you.

Yeah me too. People will still love us in spite of our lack of liberal arts degrees.

3 guys in a 2 bedroom apartment, a side job (didn't sleep much during that year) and about $4k in leftover student loan money. Haha. When I got myself a turboprop job making $26k I felt rich.

Wow, tough circumstances. Seems like it paid off. Good on you. All the best.
