This is somewhat of an anomaly to me.. these past few years are one of the hardest hit for flight schools. Interestingly, the student
pilot drop out rate is currently about 80% while the
number of certified flight instructors set a record with 96,473 active flight instructor certificates!
I'm just trying to figure out just how it is possible that there can be so many CFIs around while the student pilot drop out rate is so high?
