I would like to pose a question to anyone working (or who has worked) in a flighth school employing instructors with relatively few hours. Canadian regulations require a lot more time prior to obtaining the instructor rating and so my experiences here don't really apply.

What I would like to know, is how a CFI / operator attracts and, more importantly, keeps these instructors. Are there ways to encourage them to stick around after they have the first burst of hours or is it a given that they will leave as soon as possible?

Any input would be much appreciated.

Also, anyone who has experience operating Bell 47 or Schweizer trainers, how have you found their utility and cost versus the R22.
