Our eastern PA club does not compensate instructors or tow pilots.
Both work on a pure volunteer basis and pay the same dues and fees as
all members. We do sponsor FIRCS and pay the attendance fee for
instructors. They are also covered under our club policy. Incentive -

In our club instructing is considered part of the dues paid, just like
towing,
running wings, or logging flights. The instructors get the additional
perk
of a "currency" flight once a month in each of the club gliders (based
on
the fact that we don't actually get to do takeoffs and landings on
many
of the instructional flights). In practice the currency flights in
the Grob
usually are demo flights given when a student seems to be stuck trying
to figure out landings -- showing them what a good pattern SHOULD look
like often does wonders.
