req: CFI job advice

I know Hillsboro. Check out the time sheets to see what hours the CFIs
are really getting paid for. And be prepared to carry your own
insurance.

I've heard that they're a CFI mill...low pay and high turnover as people
move on to other commercial operations.
Works for me as long as it pays the minimum cost of living. If not, I can't
do it.

I doubt that you could make enough to cover your house payment and
support your family, although a few manage to do it. The thing is,
right now the airlines are grabbing people with only a couple hundred
hours.

Pretty much everybody is losing CFIs around here, although I hear what
you're saying. Hopefully the laws of supply and demand will become a factor
here.

If being a CFI is so great, ask Hillsboro why they have an instructor
shortage.

From what I overheard, they're all moving up to the feeders. (I didn't blow
in and announce that I was looking for a CFI job. I just hung out for
awhile and listened to the employees, which was a stroke of luck.) I would
rather mop floors than deal with what's happening here right now.
