Yeah, drop out of school to grab one of those $18k/yr flying jobs!
AWESOME!!
So, did you get a $50K/year as a first year regional pilot when you got hired?
For any CFI who makes less than $11/hr and spend countless hours per day waiting and being cancelled on again and again and - even when you fly it's mostly a VFR ASEL flight - has a child and many bills other bills to pay (my first year as a CFI was $7000 Gross), suddenly a ttwin-turbine, part 121 job with a regular paycheck becomes an offer hard to resist.
If anything, you need to take your gripe to the 'grassroots' and look at the FBOs that charge $40/hr but pay the instructors only $10/hr.
