Sounds about right. I assume you also have to provide your own

for that or they wouldn't bother hiring.

I scoped the place out when I turned in my AGI paperwork at the FSDO
office yesterday. The "pilot lounge" was filled with idle
twenty-something CFIs...you can tell the CFIs by the white shirts and
epaulets and/or khaki jump suits. Looks cool, and very professional,
but none of 'em were making money at the time.


I'm neither a 20-something nor a CFI, but if they're getting some
flight time, they may not care how low the pay is. Are they just
idling their days away with dwindling bank accounts or are they
actually getting the hours needed for that first right seat in a
commuter job? What other choice to they have, anyhow? It doesn't seem
that there is a huge number of jobs for 300 hour pilots.
