The catch is, flying clubs in malaysia pay instructor by hourly commission. Meaning no flight = no money. So if you want a more stable income, joining MFA or LATC will provide you with fix pay irregardless of how many flights you do a month. Anyway getting employed in MFA is not difficult provided you got the basic qualification they are looking for. You just need a CPL and an instructor rating, they will take u in. MFA consist of 90% foreign instructors btw.

As for flying clubs in johor, there are currently 3. Fras flying club, Elite flying club and Johor flying club. Hope this informations help and if you need anymore info you can always ask again.
Hi 9M-,

Great Info! Do you by any chance have an idea of how much MFA or LATC pay their instructors?

Got some info on SYFC pay:S$ 2100 gross per month during license conversion if applicable, increasing to S$2800 gross per month upon commencement of AFI Course. Upon appointment as a quialified AFI, you will receive S$3100 gross per month rising to S$3600 gross per month upon upgrade to a full instructor rating. Salary for full instructors range from S$3600 to S$7700 per month.

The ad which came out some years ago further adds "willing to be trained as a CAAS flying instructor if without a CAAS instructor rating"

Cheers,
