Tow Pilots and CFIG Wanted at Sandhill Soaring Club (Michigan)
I always find it interesting that the students pay (1) Initiation Dues (2) Annual Dues (3) Glider rental (4) Tow fees and then the club wants to give away the CFI (and the tow pilot) training costs. I guess the CFI-G really isn't worth that much (but then, try showing up for a check ride with no CFI logbook endorsements and see how far you get).
CFI's have REAL expenses for all that free stuff the club wants to give away. e.g. Travel expenses to the airport (not insignificant in some cases); FIRC; Liability insurance; Lost opportunity to fly their own ship (if they own one); Payment of club dues like every other member. I am not advocating "market" rates for your local CFI-G but some compensation is certainly warranted. Todd CFI-G exp JUL-2022
