Well let's use an example outside of aviation to get it away from the apple tree and see if it strikes a chord.
You are an owner of an auto repair shop.
Another guy opens up a shop across the street from you and provides free auto repair because it is his hobby and he just likes auto repair.
How do you feel?
Mind you - we aren't talking about providing free auto repair to his mother or children - or even his best friend who he has bartered with to get a storage shed built at his house - just everyone - for free.
Most people are CFIs to make money. It is a job that they may depend on to pay bills.
Sorry Flying Ninja - but I think that you are most probably the outrigger here with your views.
