FSJ

IAC was initially set up well (quality staffing was always a problem due to low salaries). However, when 'le famous megalomaniac' tried his hand at flight school tycoon...........!

Unfortunately now very little business coming this way (noone would buy a $300 used car from the megalomaniac!) so expect money will run out in the near future.

They are hiring, but only if you are French or possibly Thai. Sometimes the 'megalomaniac' likes JAA licences, sometimes not (he doesn't like the expense of renewing them!). If you are 'le roast beef' best stay away....he hates those! Initially expect 3 months probation, but if you fall foul of the 'megalomaniac' then expect a shorter 'holiday' than 3 months. Expenses should be paid here, but historically they are only paid if you go on a one day strike, and then you will have 1/30th salary deduction for that month!
I heard 1 FAA CFII walked out already! CFI is leaving (licencing issue), QSM is being blackmailed to resign, other FI been sacked during probation period for not reaching the required standard (but was asked to continue flying for the next 4 weeks)........(and so on)

You got most of it right. But there are 6 x Da40 and 4 x Da42 aircraft here. 3 Da42 grounded as no registration (however no work for the DA42s at the mom). Usually 2 Da40 grounded due u/s. Extra 300 supposedly on the way since June, but wont take them long to break it!
Main concern here is safety issue with students being sent solo in CAS outside the legal limit (1000' vertical cloud seperation). Just have to pray noone is killed, as management has failed to listen to legitimate claims made by Instructors regarding this.

Agreed, however....
As for 'a month of holiday' - So far none of the Instructors have been given any holiday yet because 'lye a busy now'
