Hello,
Next year I'm hoping to start training modular then obtain an FI rating. (class 1 medical permitting, so fingers crossed
)
I enjoy teaching and training our staff in my current job and would like to take that to the next step and become a flight instructor.
I don't want to rule a job with an jet airline/turbo-prop out all together, but certainly want to instruct for a good while first.
So my question's for current and previous flight instructor's are:
- What flight experience did you have before you got your job? were you straight out of training with minimum hours and a FI rating...?
- Whats the average pay
you get working as a FI?
- How long did you spend instructing before being successful in securing a job with an airline?
Thanks,
