A young lady from our field just finished her education... 4 year BS degree,
all ratings through multi CFII - including D-18 and C-90 time - , pretty and
bright... She just got a job at KPTK for $16 an hour for flight
instructing... Seems to be the going rate... How long she will be at that
level is a combination of sweat and luck... Who can say... She is currently
doing part 135, right seat flying for free, to build hours...

Most flight schools pay their CFIs between $15 and $20 an instructional
hour. Most CFIs probably make less than minimum wage.
