The CFI pipeline is starting to flow, but they are currently at a 9 student to 1 CFI ratio last time I checked. The biggest problem is that pay went from $35 per hour, to $25 per hour to a flat salary of $30k (which in the summer had the guys clocking in at barely $10 per hour in the summer months). Now with the enforced 20% cut we are down to $26k (after just getting a pay raise to $32k).

They simply cannot attract CFIs from outside. (before the virus)
