They simply cannot attract CFIs from outside. (before the virus)

Now with the enforced 20% cut we are down to $26k (after just getting a pay raise to $32k).

Looks like all change at Lift, the Republic sponsorship has been removed for new students and there is no longer a guaranteed job at YX upon reaching 1500. New students will also need to purchase all of their equipment (headsets, uniforms etc) rather than having it issued.

I don’t think they’re worried about that. They will bring it back when they need to...
