Plane "sharing" experience?

Suggestions as to appropriate "training" aircraft (beyond the Cessna
150 / 172) would also be appreciated.
A Cherokee 140 is an excellent and inexpensive trainer that can (in a
pinch) carry four people. It also has the advantage of having the
wing on the proper side of the fuselage...
;-)
Additionally, would it be wise to contract a single CFI to do our
instruction? At approximately 50 hours per pupil, they could log a
lot of time. Maybe we could get a small discount?
Sounds like a good idea -- if you can keep everyone in line and on
schedule.
If you can keep a bunch of student pilots focused and organized,
you've got two great opportunities to save money. In my experience,
however, organizing pilots is a lot like herding cats, so you'll have
your work cut out for you...

Yeah, maybe you can hire in some mexicans to do the hard work for you.
