East Herts flying school.
Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone here instructs or has instructed at East Herts. I hear they're looking for instructors at the moment.
If so, what are they like to work for?
What is the pay like?
Do they expect you to pay for your checkout flight?
How many hours would you expect to get with them a week at this time of year, enough to live off?
What is the social atmosphere like at the school?
And last of all what is the area like to live in, is there any cheapish accomodation quite close to the airfield?
Cheers

If you do a search you will find loads of info to keep you occupied. You can then make an informed decision. I would say go and visit but I see you are in Wales. Apparently there may be vacancies in Devon/Somerset for part time work. PM flying farmer for details I think.
Best of luck.

A mate of mine asked the very same question last week.. I told him I'd rather work for the Mujahadin than be an instructor at Panshanger. At least the Mujahadin are fairly reasonable.....

If you want to do potentially many hours of flying and have a salesman streak, then Panshanger could be the right place to you. If you cannot convince punters to start a course, then you won't do very well.
Give it a try, if a after a few months you don't like it, then there are other jobs instead
