Hello iflyprops i dont plan charging that much but it was just a statement that good career cfis can make good money. If i became a cfi i would try to use a sliding scale based on income which would determine cost of lessons not including students cost of renting the airplane (rentals will always be at a fixed rate). One thing about my current situation as well as others in my position is coming up with the cash to start flight lessons. However I just got in a lucky position to have grants to help pay. I truly feel in my heart no one should ever be denied an education in which the student has the heart for whether it be an airline pilot or doctor or anything else that they love to do. To further my point there are ton and tons of talented people out there that could be doctors or lawyers but they just couldn't afford the education, so now their stuck doing something that really don't enjoy doing.
