What does the instructor cost the school? What is there to afford? Classrooms, offices and tables? That expense can be paid by the profit from one instructor alone (billing 120h * $25 profit = $3000.00/monthly).
If the school needs the money for the airplanes, it should be charged as airplane rates, not instructor rates.
And the owner of the school shouldn't make a profit because....? They did take the risk of starting the business.
Besides, there are other costs involved in having employees than just their pay rates. Workers comp, social security matching, etc. Why shouldn't the flight school tack onto the instructor rate to pay for this?
There is a lot more to business than what is on the surface.
