That's in the past, but for new instructors, I always say, don't go someplace that makes you work when your not with a student. I think that is actually illegal in a bunch of states. They are suppose to pay you minimum wage in some states when you are at the desk. I believe some instructors won a big lawsuit regarding this.

Instructors are making $30-$50/hour right now flying Cessna 152's. Don't tell me that's worse than Colgan.
