You're not "part of the problem," that's great. I could say something similar myself, but it's irrelevant. I'm not the one looking for a scapegoat here. Heck, I'm not even opposed to instructing as long as there's a legitimate demand for it. But why are we pushing it when there obviously isn't a demand for it?
My point is, a lot of times, when flight schools are overstaffed and instructors are beating the doors down, they feel the need to recruit. You won't argue with me that the pyramid scheme is a problem. Are you trying to argue it's existence?
