At 1500 hours though that carrot will be way to far away. When new students shrink so will the need for CFIs. Traffic watch is almost a thing of the past now. Banner towing is getting a bit harder to break into and most survey companies want 500-1000 hours to get into the door. The traditional low time jobs are drying up. Unless you have a bunch of rich kid that can go buy a 1000 hours it may end up being a shortage at some point.
