CFI pay, FYI

I just scoped out a local FBO hiring CFIs (they went from a minimum of
100 hrs experience and CFII last September to hiring brand-new CFIs in
January.)

They charge $44/hr for ground or air instruction and the instructor base
pay is $16 per billed hour.

Free unlimited simulator time, free CFII ground and sim training, and
after four months instructors get a "very low rate" on helicopter training.

Doesn't mention health insurance. After teaching 250 hours,
instructors get $17/hr. with a $3/hr bonus for "advanced instruction."

Meanwhile they can't keep experienced instructors in the shop. Gee, I
wonder why. The only problem is, to teach at the local community
colleges, you have to be an employee of the FBO.
