Most flying schools/clubs pay peanuts...
Err, that's it really
It's no surprise that there is a shortage of instructors out there when you can get a whopping £20/per flying hour, but not paid for all the other time and effort it takes to do the job effectively. The aviation world (and airlines in some cases) generally appears to thrive on highly qualified people doing jobs for peanuts..
(I should add that I already had a CPL anyway, so now need for the TK exams and the cost of the FI Rating is all that I'd like to recoup - I have other income from flying and instructing for me is part time. But I would like to be rewarded appropriately for using my skills)
