Alan Your postage stamp is too small! $25 an hour only works to earn $100k a year for a 40-hour week if there are 100 weeks in a year. Let's be realistic - a typical "gliding bum" will be lucky to get $40,000 a year because there are only a maximum of 40 weeks a year when he can work 40 hours

I think it is all economics. On the back of a postage stamp say the average person is prepared to work 40 hours per week and wants say $100k p.a. so he can pay taxes etc: That is $25 per hour. But do you think you get 40 hours paid instructing in the air per week. So do some basic business case
