So honestly, I'm not sure what the employment situation is for these
instructors or for the contracted operations with whom the "ab initio"

pilots are flying.

I've known a few instructors that worked for the Lufthansa training
centers in Arizona. They were basically freelance CFIs contracting
with the schools. I imagine that they will have to meet the same
requirements as any other instructor that teaches foreign students, but
my guess is that the school will take care of the bulk of the paperwork
and reporting requirements for them. It is, after all, a very large
high-dollar organization (have you seen their private, towered airport
in Mobile, AZ?).

Hi John,

Yup, I've seen it while on the way to Yuma via the Gila Bend VORTAC.

Hope you had a great Christmas!
