i'm not at all required to stay at the office all day, but i do because i want to fly. if i want the students i've got to be here. its tuff fighting the Cheif CFI for all the students who come in, let alone the other instructors we have. so i tend to just come in and be here more than the other CFIs. i just hang out and chill on the computer and study for my CFII, and grab any walk-ins or phone calls i can. just the other day the Chief tried to give one of the other CFI's a prospective student(CFI who isn't here much), kicker is the student can only come in 6am-8am tuesday and thursday, possibly weekends. so i was like, "hell, i'll take him!". i've got no problem getting up early, so i bugged the chief for a few days about whether or not the other CFI had called the student or not. ends up the other CFI wasn't all that excited about getting up early, so i get the ok to call the student. so i call him up, introduce myself and yadda yadda. turns out this guy kindda got turned off because nobody had contacted him since his first call, and now its up in the air if he is still interested in using our school for flight training. ARRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!
i was so pissed about that one.
so in any event, my girl doesn't understand why i have to fight for students.
