Just got my CFI and looking to apply to flightsafety academy in vero beach. Any current or former CFI's (2017-present) have any information on QOL, compensation, and benefits?
In context, though. $30-32 per hour is roughly what the "standard" flight school pays in this region (Mid Atlantic), which has a considerably higher cost of living than a place like Vero.
We worked hard - Definitely put in the hours and we were getting triple overtime pay with the hours we were billing out. It definitely helped but like I said, if I was based at 30-35 an hour I would've done very well. Im not sure if its still as busy but at one point I had 10 students with no let up in sight. 2007 Was a good year to instruct.
Approximately how much were you guys making in a year at FSA in 06/07? And how much can you expect to make in a year now? Assuming you work real hard that is.
I would definitely be interested in this. Is this $35 for just CFI or is the $35 for MEI?
Also, they seem to have new posting without contract.
Are you currently working there?
Any current CFIs that can work at flight safety (2018 - Present)?
The difference for us was the 141 curriculum really prepared them for the flying pretty dang well. We had minimal ground briefings we had to do. And the constant supply of students was never ending in 2006-08 for me. I was able to be extremely busy.

That's true. In '12-'13 typical ERAU CFI would be in the 600 hr/yr ballpark, 800 if you waived the extra day off.
With that said, of my friends there at the time that built their time and got out, about a half ended up in the corporate, some in SWA, one at Allegiant, couple at Spirit, some quit for good. They didn't exactly get to ride a wave to the legacies due to timing.
