If you even made minimum payments you would be sending them about $500 a month out of what is already poverty wages. Sorry but I do not see the light in the proposal at all.
Why does nobody do ground instruction anymore? I do, and I also charge for it. So, yes, $24k a year, just for the flying, and then about another $24k for ground instruction. Not bad for an instructor eh?
