Try Cabair by all means as they are one of the few schools that pay a salary. However be prepared for a few nasty remarks at the interview if you are married and do not live near one of their bases.

I was offered a job with them on the proviso that I was not to go home on my weekends off to see my wife, as they didn't want their instructors spending their days off driving down the motorway!

What I choose to do on my days off is usually my business, but not with these guys. This was meant in all seriousness. I was told that they would offer me the position (Redhill or Elsetree at the time) but not to make plans for my days off.

The point they were making was, even though you may be prepared to obtain accomodation near their schools and spend the working week there, you should put them first. Not realistic if you have a family and want a reasonable balance in your life.

BTW I turned the job down and got non-salaried one nearer home. Less money but still got the hours.
