PTC is based out of FIT aviation in Melbourne.... I know some guys who instruct with them...From what they have told me..They get more then the most other flights schools in Florida.... don't know the exact number tho
 
Looks like they are in a lot of hot water nowadays with their students, the Irish Aviation Authority, and FIT:

Hope somebody finds a way for these students to get credit for their money and finish the training directly with FIT or somewhere else!
 
Could be they aren't paying their employees and need a new batch of suckers. Hopefully I'm wrong.
 
In the US, the students have a clear grounds to form a class and press JTC. I'm not sure sure how Irish law works in this regard.
 
Last I heard, FIT instructors make $23 an hour, however I don't think they can charge brief time. Plus every time they finish a flight, they have to call into dispatch 20 minutes prior to be assigned a parking spot. I get so sick of listening to that.
