Re: US Aviation in Denton TX, hiring 19 new flight instructo

Denton is cheap and a lot of fun.
The interview is a traditional interview, ground school standz, and a flight with standards which last 2-3 hours (paid for). No sim. good luck to you

Questions: If it is that bad as a school, why most of you guys still working there ? and why most of you left after 2 years of employment ?
Did you guy's just realize it after 2 years?

did you know that the chinese pilots who are kicked out of the school, lose face in china, and some kill themself?

WOW! That is tragic. I don't see the mentality behind it, but still tragic.

Re: US Aviation in Denton TX, hiring 19 new flight instructo

I work there as a dispatcher/scheduler. Been flying with the school for 2 1/2 years. MX is good (never had any problems in the 300 +/-hrs I've been flying.) and it seems the instructors are always busy (I know, I just spent all day scheduling today and DAMN that schedule is FULL).

I would say any problems that the company has are a result of growth. In 2 1/2 years they've gone from having a small operation with a decently sized fleet (28 airplanes) to having 49 (including 4 King Air C90's), an FBO and a state of the art training facility. I would like to have the ability to finish my CSEL CMEL and get my CFI/II done so I can start instructing.

Great place to work for IMHO.

Doesn't US Aviation also have a location in Hondo, TX? I flew to Hondo with a friend several months ago. The pattern was full of foreign flight students. It was quite interesting to say the least.

The Cessna 152s they were using looked like they were in very good shape. Great looking paint jobs at least. The cockpit and instrumentation could be a different story though.

Sounds like them. The airplanes to "look" good. However, having flown ferry flights for the school to bring 152's to/from HDO to DTO the cockpits are 'standard' for older model 152's and 172's. They have a pretty nice fleet of 172-R's, DA-20's and Diamond Stars. Seneca's are standard Multi-equipment at USFA. As said, they do have C90's as well and (I'm not sure of how one gets into the left seat of a C90 at USFA) there is some distinguishable 'track' to flying the King Air. I've heard it's somthing like 500 Multi but I could be wrong.
