No. But I know that instructors are leaving the flight school before
they have been there a year. It takes two years of instructing before
you can make a new instructor. So I am the only one, now, and the boss
counts himself fortunate that I am there. But all the flight schools
are screaming for instructors and we can't train enough new ones with
the few that are left. Without instructors there are no new pilots. It
has reached the point where some flight schools are offering
instructors who stay (instead of going to the airlines) $59,000 a year
salary and a full benefits package.

You bring up an exellent point, and I hope you are one of the
instructors making that much. The reason we have a shortage is because
of the low pay and working conditions over the years (For one of the
most important jobs in aviation). At 60 grand Id consider being an
instructor. Good luck,
