Fresh CPL holders as long as ICAO are welcome in Malaysia as instructors. Airlines can forget it 'cos their DCA is very protective of their citizens.
A new AFI can earn a basic of between RM 5-7k in Msia. Taking into account flying allowance of RM $50-60 per hour and assuming 85 hours a mth, the total can hit RM $10-12k. Now one can imagine how much a senior instructor would earn then. Oh btw, MFA's pay is the lowest by a mile, absolutely peanuts..no point quoting theirs. HMA's pay for an AFI is roughly as I initially quoted though.
No Msian just out of a flying sch would want to be an instructor. 99% think airlines are more glam and they will try for that. That explains the huge shortage of FIs in Msia.
A pity their DCA protects their citizens while our CAAS does otherwise. A potently bad combo for Sgporeans who wanna self-fund and aspire for the airlines.
