We are currently have 12 instructors, 43 students, 11 airplanes, and we are going at it full time. Representitives from Air China are very impressed with the operation and will be sending more students. We have prospects of a few other airlines wanting to send students also. We may also be re-opening the Stockton campus to accomidate one or two of them, but that's a bit further down the road, and hopefully we'll all have moved on by the time they get that going.

Unless you are hired as a team leader or ground school instructor you will get 4 students and will have those same four students throughout the whole program (unless changes need to be made for whatever reason). You will be training full time from day one (assuming TSA and weather cooperate, which is currently what is slowing us down a bit) As Carlos said in the email, you can expect 120 hours per month of activity (ground or flight instruction) so in 10 months you should grab at least 800 hours TT, 150-200 ME, and can expect $2000-$2500 per month on top of free room and board. You will be extreemely busy. Even with the above mentioned delays, we are on the verge of burnout.

I was told to stop handing in resumes for the time being however as we do have quite a few. But given the short notice he gave you all, I'm afraid we'll still be short a few instructors so he may start taking them again. The next hiring will be for a program beginning in July. If you don't get hired this time around and are still looking for work then, you might be able to interview then. Hopefully things will have settled down a bit by and they will have worked out something better for the hiring process.

Good luck to everyone. Sorry this hasn't turned out quite as nicely as we'd hoped.
