I've thought that when I can retire in another 9 yrs or so that
I'd renew my CFI certificate and teach for the fun of it and to
give something back to aviation. I've come to the conclusion that
this wouldn't be something I will able to afford to do given all the
stuff continually being piled on and the insurance requirements
needed to protect myself.

A better question would be "I wonder how many independent CFI's will say
"screw it" and give up instructing. Like myself, most of the CFI's that I
know are not trying to build time, they instruct on a part time basis in
addition to a full time career, usually in a non-aviation area. They
volunteer their time at the local airport willing to do what it takes to
introduce new pilots to aviation, barely making enough to keep change for
the vending machines in their pockets. Just how much nonsense are we
going
to put up with? Only time will tell.

I am wondering if the larger FBO's are going to use this is an excuse to
raise the instruction rates?
