Employment

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 out 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?

You might try tv ads during spanish-dubbed versions of Miami Vice in
syndication. Budding pharmaceutical importers find the series to be a
realistic training video...JG

Bad targeting with your request mostly.
There aren't many achievement-oriented people spending much time on this NG!

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 seems unlikely. I see that web sites allegedly having pilot job
listings are free for employers to post jobs but fee-based for job
seekers. It would be the other way around if there really was a pilot
shortage.

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

It terms of dollars, I suppose so, but in terms of experience, it
would seem to me that they're a lot better off in the right seat of
something with two turbines.

How would an ambitions kid (and that is definitely not me on either
count) ever make those part 135 minima if all he does is go around and
around the pattern in day VFR conditions, with a very few XC and night
hours added into the mix?

Then please tell me how in hell any new pilot is going to gain flight
experience if he/she isn't flying? And who says they won't get XC and/
or night? I'm not going to put my airplanes on the line, pay for the
upkeep, pay for the gas, pay for the insurance, etc, etc and just let
them go build time on my dollar. As a new CFI they are going to build
some invaluable flight experience that you just can't get any other
way and make a liveable wage while doing it. They produce for us, we
help them along. In more than 50 years in this business I've never
seen a better deal for new pilots. I suppose it boils down to personal
motivation and desire. Unfortunately the trend seems to be more and
more..."What can you do for ME?" and expect it to be a freebie.
