Thanks, Russ
First, that advert was placed by recruiters for IASCO based at Redding CA. Earlier this year, one of their instructors had a run in with the law
when a suicidal student overstayed their visa.
I'm told that "one" Australian instructor was hired and despite the recruiter doing all that promotion, the school hired that particular instructor direct.
This is third hand information but it has the air of reality to it.
Almost every flight school in the USA and Canada is short of instructors and that is despite the schools churning out large numbers of them.
Now, the E-3 Visa. I'd like to hear from anyone who qualified by way of experience and qualifications but without a degree.
The US government blub states that as a guide, they require 3 years experience for every year of a four year university degree that
the instructor did not go to. That is, a two year college course would reduce the experience required to 6 years.
In searching on line, I have not come across an answer to the above questions.
