I have a meeting at my flight school coming up to create a position for myself as the director of flight school ops. Right now the school is pretty much headless because the owner spends the majority of his time in the corporate side of the business and there is a chief cfi but he only works a couple days a week. The school is relatively busy and has 12 airplanes. However, like I said, there's no real leadership at the school and there is a lot of room for growth and standardization. The area that the school is in has an extremely rapidly growing economy and it stands as the only flight school at the field, for now. Working in this position, my main jobs would be advertising, standardization (possible 141 certification), holding instructor meetings, working on other ventures for the company and coordinating with local colleges for possible flight programs, as well as continuing to flight instruct.
I'm considering making this my life's work and trying to have position grow with the company. My qual's are 2500 hours, 1000 instructing, and 2 years of airline experiene. What do you think I should ask for a starting salary? Any help is greatly appreciated.
