supernicebloke2000 asked:
As somebody who wants to become a professional pilot and take a job as a full time flying instructor, I’m wondering how much a flying instructor makes? The training after all is very expensive and I’d need any position to pay enough to make sure I have a return on my investment!
Thanks for the info so far… I have to admit that the whole reason for wanting a job as an instructor is that I love the smaller, slower aircraft and actually seeing the scenery! I want ot be able to share that with others by instructing them. Flying a giant taxi service from A-B as an airline pilot is not my ultimate goal.

I guess I need to think about this very hard!
