The Law of Unintended Consequences Will Kick You In The Balls Every Time

More pay means more customers

If you say so. I used to work in aviation. Flight instructors tend to make about $20 per flight hour. All time they spend at the flight school not flying is generally unpaid. So lets pay the flight instructors the $60 per flight hour they probably deserve and also pay them $20 per hour they put in at the flight school not flying. Great. Now flight instructors are finally making a living wage.

Now as expensive as flight training already is, flight schools actually operate on razor thin margins. Cost of insurance is a big factor. Cost of keeping the equipment maintained per FAA requirements is also huge and not getting any cheaper.

So please explain in detail how increasing the wage for flight instructors translates into more customers for the flight school which somehow won't have to 'raise prices much'.
