Not fast.....as the co-founder of Airline Pilot Central I agree that these forums are for sharing info within aviation from the "haves" to the "have-nots". We've all had some help at some point along the way, and this forum is our attempt to return the goodwill we've received along the way.
That said we DO NOT advocate posting "insider information" that could damage any business, airline, or labor group if made public. We would also encourage discretion with respect to private conversations.
With respect to the thread topic, I agree that flight schools are going to have to sweeten the compensation package if they are to retain quality CFIs. Unfortunately, the added cost will be passed on to the student which will probably result in fewer student starts due to increasing costs.
