EASA Flight Instructor Market
Hi All,
I am 32 years, from the US but with a UK passport as well, and about a year ago decided to make a career change from IT into aviation. Now I have my FAA CPL MEL/IR and have been time building in my own taildragger up to about 1100 hours per meeting the FAA's 1500 hour rule, the plan being to get a US regional airline job. However, I've been thinking of an alternative path, since I want to end up in the UK or mainland Europe eventually, and that is getting an EASA flight instructor certificate and instruct in the UK (or elsewhere in Europe) and then try to get an airline job. I was just wondering what the job market is for instructors in the UK and Europe generally, and also whether the chances are good at getting an airline job after instructing for a while?
Thanks!
