I would be interested to know the thoughts of flying instructors as we are hearing 2 completely different stories.
We run 2 bases in Scotland (Perth and Cumbernauld) for PPL training and Commercial training. While we have a core of instructors we are always looking to add to the pool as our younger instructors seem to be getting snapped up after about a year of instructing (we have lost 5 in the past year!). This is OK as we have always operated in an open manner and any instructors working towards an airline job tend to give us good notice.
We are aware of another couple of instructors who will be moving on in the next few months and as such we have advertised on our website.
While we get a steady flow of applications the majority are from overseas!
