At HVN, HFD, and IJD, Warriors and 172's are renting for $120-125/hr.
wet, with 150's and Traumahawk's hitting $105-$110. Some of the
bigger schools are going $55-60/hr. for instructors. I don't know of
schools charging less than $50/hr. for instruction.


Out here in God's Country, instruction is $30/hour.


We live in the area of the $200k+ "starter" home and $1000/mo. single
bedroom apartment. ;^(

The guy I know who owns a school pays his instructors $25/billable
hour, billed out at $55. I don't think he could keep the lights on
for a $5 cut, and he wouldn't have many decent instructors if he paid
them much less.
