Don't have a clue to be honest, I am not really connected that way with the schools.

The one I could find out about isn't looking for instructors. I don't think.

I don't think you will get 1000hours. Shall we say the school I worked at was unique with the local monopoly, the amount of money in the area and a micro climate. I suspect these days in the new school they would be getting 500-600 hours because they have more than one full time instructor. In my day there was meant to be 2 full time including the boss but he was 3 sheets to the wind by lunch most days so I got all his flying.

The CFS rated guys in Dundee also used to get high hours but I don't have a clue how many students go through that these days. And you can't just rock up to do that sort of instructing they used to only allow home grown FI's on that one because of the strict standards and methods required by the RAF CFS. But this may have changed.

go for it sapperkenno the punters are great, the flying is great, there are obviously some knobs but you get that anywhere.
