Our business is severely limited by pilots needed.
Other glider sites are advertising for your help. If you would like to
teach, fly tow planes or even become a business owner, talk to
someone!
This applies to us and our neighbors in soaring. Say yes. Fred.

I had my CFIG at 18. Really enjoyed instruction. Worked full time for
at a well known site for 18 months. Didn't make enough to pay my rent.
I let my CFIG lapse after I got out of dept and started to own a few
things. Now, in my semi-retirement, it would be fun to instruct again.
I regret that in this lawsuit happy society, it is simply not worth
the liability risk that goes with being an instructor. Too bad.....

instructors getting sued is a very rare occurence, particularly if the
instructor is thorough and documents his training well. i think most
of the risk is imagined. of course most CFI's, myself included, arent
really worth suing.
