100 PFT's=100 pilots/ 100 CFI's=500? 600? 1000? new pilots..To me this seem's where the overload in pilots come from.
This industry needs a fix, attacking one group for "bringing down the profession woes" gets us nowhere.. I don't have any answers anyone else??

I'm not attacking. I'm trying to educate the new folks that PFT will likely be held against them at some point during their career.
A typical CFI will train lots of students, but most are recreational. Typically, I'd guess that each CFI during a 1-2 year career will train one CFI/future airline guy...his replacement.
