There will be about 4 instructors leaving CAE in October for the airlines. However, there should also be 6 new instructors flying with students in late October or early November, myself included. In the grand scheme adding a net 2 instructors won’t make a huge difference in student/instructor ratio, but anything helps. The hope is the next group of 6-7 instructors will be online in likely late winter or early spring. That will really improve student/instructor ratio and you’ll fly much more frequently once that happens. There is supposedly even another group of instructors after that waiting to begin ground training. 2026 should be a year of improvement, but take everything with a grain of salt. I can think of 5-6 who aren’t airline cadet program affiliated, but are more than qualified to be hired once the regional airlines need pilots again.
