Well, they do seem to have one of the highest rates in the area!!! I
work in Portland and don't even consider renting from them. Their rates
for a 172 are around $135-140/hr (wet). Yea, it's a glass panel, but I
don't need a glass panel for my flying--not for that much money!

...but it just might be. I'm having one of those "Don't talk about
what
I'd like to do to management on public aviation-related forums" days.
And your point is....?
Hmm. How about: "They're hiring instructors..."
Who isn't?

Since it doesn't look like anybody's actually going to provide any useful
information about Hillsboro Aviation, I'll let anybody in the area who's
looking for a CFI job know what I found out:

They're ideally looking for a CFII because they don't want students to have
to transition from one instructor to another. (?!) Also, they want people
willing to work up to 12 hours a day 5-6 days a week. A student there told
me that it seems to be a CFI mill; they pay them low wages knowing that the
CFIs will bail as soon as they get their hours.

That reminds me a little too much of Radio Shack or Circuit City.
(Gutter-level salesdroids hoping to be able to add "retail sales" to their
resume.)

I'll hand the discussion back to the peanut gallery...
