Career Builder Pilot Pay

That's where I want to work. But, I also want a company car and an expense account. That shouldn't be too much to ask for in fantasy land.

You'd have to work a lot though. And be at the whims of nature. There's some big downsides with pure CFI gigs.

If you've got a good simulator set-up and can put in some ground time on the bad weather/mx days, then you don't get quite as screwed as you do if you're relying on 2 students that are both at the solo-cross-country stage.


Of course there are some students that daddy really wants to be professional pilots, but they'd rather sit at home and surf for porno online and they really make you want to :chair: sometimes.

But if I could get some sort of salary for $70k...yeah I'd do it. $95k even better.

You know....at the bottom of that page is a cough cough Phone cough number cough cough....maybe they need some help understanding.

Will update after the phone call.

Of course this amount could based on flight instructors in turbo prop and jet aircraft. But it definitely gives the wrong picture to someone entering the career.
 
Hey, if you made $48/hr, worked 40 every week and worked 52 weeks per year, 99k isn't unbelievable. :insane:
 
So, the website you cited gets their info from salaryexpert.com. After a call to both places I was told that Salary Expert uses the Bureau of Statistics report to base their info on. Of course it is adjusted for the area of the country you are in so I threw in my info and it came up with this:


$97,640 = Average Base Salary in Orangeburg, South Carolina
$105,590 = National Average Base Salary


Currency in United States Dollars

I know this has been hashed out elsewhere. The only other piece of info that I would include would be the line of questioning from the operator at Salary Expert. It started with "As a flight instructor, how much do you make..." and went downhill from there. I gave as much info as possible. They asked me to email an estimate of hours worked and pay rates. If anyone else is interested in sending what they make then here is the email address: feedback@salaryexpert.com.
 
Out of boredom, I called the number, and told them that their data was erroneous. They said, they'd get back to me.
 
I wonder what the (On-Ground) salary would be. Probably like eleventy billion, since you know, you can't learn (In-Flight) before you learn (On-Ground)

Baby steps.
 
You still talking "small stuff" or simulator based training stuff?

Chief CFI is probably 45-65k depending on location, fleet, client size, etc. at a "small stuff" (typical 141) school.

Doug has how many people that can call a 1-800 #?
Not 1 sale after tying up operators and incurring *00# phone bills have a way of expediting corrections to erronious BS,...
Yep, it's me again- still sitting here at this Payphone waiting for a flight and ready to continue my dispute with something you had posted.
:laff:
