Staffing Woes for Flight Schools
Are the staffing issues for flight schools as dire as this makes it sound?

It's hard for a flight school to compete with an airline that's offering a fifty thousand dollar sign-on bonus plus a wage far in excess of what the flight school can offer.
It's interesting, however, that the flight school can complain about an instructor that stays through 1,500 hours, when not so long ago schools were losing students to the regionals at 250 hours, and many instructors didn't teach more than a few months.
I flew with a young man recently who noted that his last few instructors have abandoned him for the airlines; one just before his checkride.
Ethics are dead.
