Is this the death of GA

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.

CFI is largely an entry level job for prospective airline pilots. I've
had lots of entry level jobs, but very few that paid $100/hr. What other
industry commands $100/hr. for someone with 300 hrs. of practical experience?

That said, when I get flight training, I usually get it from instructors
who are in the business of flight training and have thousands of hours and
decades of flight training experience. These guys make a good living from
flight training and I'm more than happy to pay a premium price for their
knowledge and experience.
