A buddy of mine told me one of the local clubs was charging him $20.00 an hour for flight training. I'm currently teaching him for nothing but a hand shake. The first time I met him was the day of my first free lesson.
Perhaps the club is charging $20 AN HOUR for on demand one-on-one training, equipment supplied, but also, just like all the "good" clubs which offers very limited training, once or twice a week, where the student isn't allowed to make any demands on anyone, plus must supply his own equipment.
In other words, the student and instructors has the OPTION to make an appointment to take/give a solid hour of instruction any day of the week, OR wait for the one or two days setup aside for training and hope that there are enough instructors around or there isn't a long line of beginners waiting for their turn or it doesn't rain on the only day(s) free instruction is offered.
