Everyone always talks about the low wages for a first year FO at a regional, but nobody ever talks about Flight Instructor wages. Now I know it is the bottom of the totem pole and they dont need to make a fortune, but it seems as though they are making teh same $20/hr that they were making 10 years ago, even though the rate that flight schools charge has gone up considerably in that time. I can remember when an instructor cost me $35/hr, and the instructor got $20 of that. Nowadays they charge anywhere from $45-$60/hr and the instructor will get $15-$20 of that if he is lucky. Just an observation. Let me know if you agree or if you think I am off my rocker.
