United Aviate sued!

CFI's?

Yeah. There's places in Alaska looking for people. They will hire 1500 hour pilots. You never know what you will find in this industry. There's more than just shiny jets to go to after instructing.

I'm glad I have that seaplane rating? Staying in piston singles is still kind of a lateral move though...

Yes and no. Even the 135 single engine world will teach you a whole new set of things, and decision making. It's a valuable experience for sure. And depending on where you go, it can lead to turbine experience as well.

Those shiny jet CFI jobs!

I wouldn't call CFI to Alaska flying a lateral move at all, especially if you're flying for a scheduled airline.

But ultimately it doesn't much matter, in the current (and future) hiring climate.

Yeah, I was talking CFI pistón jobs.

I don't know a whole lot about the academy as Aviate & Aviate Academy are pretty fenced off. My understanding is that they bought the old Westwind academy and turned it into the Aviate Academy. I have no idea if they kept most of the WW management team or dumped them all and brought in new people.

Either way, this is the issue with buying something like this and slapping your name on it. If it doesn't work out, they're coming after the multi billion dollar organization, not the clapped out flight school management.

That's not true at all. I have found at least two places hiring. But they're not shiny jets.

Yup, they’re not ‘shiny’ or look good on the ‘grams but they’re out there.

Both of whom are magically judgment-proof for different reasons.

the guy that used to run Aviate either owned or at least ran WW, I have no idea how that wasn’t a conflict of interest

Reminds me of the JetU lawsuits from 2008-9.
