Rather than start a separate topic, I hope you don't mind me butting in
I have been looking at the possibility of doing a FIC, however, I have a rather large loan to pay off and have concerns as to whether a FI salary would be enough to meet the repayments. I would be going further into the red just to fund the course, however as much as it would improve my flying, I do not want to commit financial suicide.
Can anybody give me an idea of what an instructor would get (pay wise) from a good month? A friend of mine who works in Ops at a school, mentioned an £8000 retainer, but he was a bit vague beyond that.
Thanks for the help.
