And pilots need to start DEMANDING a living wage, or just don't fly.
Students need to expect to PAY for training, $100 per hr for an
instructor is not unreasonable. This about how much you would pay any
other professional. How much would you pay a plumber. Then think
about how much you pay a CFI and gripe about it! NUTS.

The part that will always cripple any effort to raise the pay of
flight instructors (and pilots in general) is that flying is *fun*.

The reason lawyers make a lot of money is because being a lawyer
sucks. The reason plumbers make a lot of money is because being a
plumber sucks. The reason flying doesn't pay a lot is because flying
is fun, and there are thousands of us who willingly pay to do it.

Assholes, like you, for instance. Fortunately,you have nothing to teach
anyone.
