For all the hand wringing and crying abnout a new pilot/CFI not
finding any work, I'm still waiting to hear from any of them re;my
job offer. Must be a myth? Or perhaps they are expecting to make
100K right out of the box and ink wet on the certificates?
We need more CFI's to work near Pensacola,FL in well maintained
C-172's in a very structured controlled training environment. You
can expect to fly between 70-100 hours a month with highly
motivated students, you get paid even if the weather prevents
flight ops, and its the best damned CFI seat in the country.
Particularly for a new CFI. We've taken on several new CFI's and
helped them get the seasoning they are looking for to go on with
their career in the airlines, or corporate, or ???
Is it that they are expected to work for the salary and a five day
week? I just don't understand it. Can anyone help me out here? Talk
about lack of work and yet no one is responding to serious job
offers. I just don't get it.........

I've been hearing there is a pilot shortage, folks being picked up
right o

ut of college flight school into the right
seat on the regionals. Does your CFI pay compare with right seat
time?

Maybe this is the beginning of CFIs getting what they are really
worth?- H

We're starting brand new CFI's at $32K which is about double what most
regionals are paying for a new right seat pilot.


That's not to bad! Quite a lot better than when I used to do it.
