Ok, I’ll take your word for that. I just know that when I was learning to fly a quarter century ago my own flight instructor was dirt poor and survived on ramen noodles, but he (and some other instructors) were willing to work for very little pay in order to build up enough flight hours that they could move on and get jobs as commercial pilots for airlines. If you need 1500 hours of flight time to be hired as an Airline Transport Pilot and you can’t afford your own plane your options are either to do something like that or else join the Air Force.
Given your username I’m guessing you’re a lot more experienced in this area than I am. How much are flight instructors getting paid lately?
