Arrow Instructor job market?

Just returning to the UK following a stint in the USA. Although i know winter's approaching and workload is decreasing i was wondering what the job market was like in the South East?

Currently i've got and FI/IRI (unrestricted) and 1200 TT, 600 duel given.

Also whats the pay like these days, i've got used to $30,000pa (22,000pounds) i guess it's nothing like that but i was hoping for around 1000 a month)? Is this a reality?

thanks for your constructive comments

The sad thing is that even before the current crisis this would have had a similar response

UKP150/week is going to be a good wage. If?... it's that good your side of the pond, stay there.

Pan-am. Old news but they will continue to operate until the end of the year. I've left now because i was one of the lucky/unlucky? Britannia pilots 'let go' by the current crisis. Was due to start Nov 5th, so i came home a week ago.

Nothing going on now though.

Derek Earp, CFI at Jerez is indeed recruiting, albeit not massively. 500 instructional hours required. All in all a very nice job that I enjoyed *and* miss very much. You could do a lot worse.
