UND Flight Instructor question

I'm wondering... what is an accurate range of pay for students hired as flight instructors at UND? The reason why I'm asking this is I need to be making at least $1500 a month in order to cover my student loan payment along with living expenses. I must assume that that I will be making $1000 a month there and have to get a job waiting tables just to pull through financially.
 
I'm not sure if this is still current, but I saw a job posting for a UND CFI/CFII last fall and it said the pay range was $9-20 per hour.

What kind of schedule do the CFI's there at UND keep? What's the maximum number of hours they can fly?
 
The max any CFI can fly in a 24 hour period is 8 hours.

the max contact time (flights, briefings, pre post briefings) an instructor can have in a week is 50. Of course expect to spend 12 hours at the airport for every 7 hours of work on average.

Then if your really gung ho you can do things like work the SOF desk or in the testing center in addition to the 50 hours of contact time.

I'm pretty sure it's still the standard 8.

Don't quote me on that though...
 
yup its the FAA 8 hours for FLIGHT time. You could in theory fly 8 hours and then do a 2 hour briefing or sim still too to get your max of 10 hours contact time.
 
NO, NO, NO!!!

OK, I worded it incorrectly, I suppose...

If a flight instructor at UND worked full time, how many hours of flight time could (s)he realistically expect to schedule?
 
Depends on how gung ho you are really. If you've got 5 students, probably expect around 25 hours of work or so a week. The math makes it sound like more (2 or 3 students a day, 2 hours each, 6 days a week) but students are sometimes flaky or have solo flights so thats why its about 25 hours a week. Now there are instructors here who have like 8 students and work sometimes 40 hours a week, but remember the rule for 8 hours of work spend 12 hours at the airport...
