I work at empire east now, I got hired with 275 hours and 19 years old over the summer, I am now Chief flight Instructor and am working on my CFII and MEI, I am the only instructor here now, the two other CFIs left just this week. while all three instructors were here I only logged about 5-10 hours a week, but I presume things will pick up since the Other CFI's dropped me the students... the new owners say they will not be hiring this winter.
