I did the Private Pilot program in Jax, then the ACPP in Trenton, NJ. I completed the program and applied at 3 flight schools in the area, and was offered a position at all 3. Honestly I just wanted to learn a bit about those schools and was offered a job after they reviewed my resume. I ended up sending ATP my resume and got called back with a day and offered the job. I moved to Jacksonville for a little over a month before moving to Washington, DC to instruct there. I was in DC for almost 4 months and now I am instructing where I trained at. I started instructing with 250hrs TT and now I'm over 400TT. I haven't been flying as many hours as I thought I would, but in DC I instructed 90 day Career pilots and I averaged about 40-50hrs per month. I think Jax is really the only location that's really slammed busy. But I'm getting hours and enjoying instructing. Sometimes it gets frustrating with really tight checkride deadlines and written tests scheduled on what would have been a much needed day off. But overall, there could be worse places to work at.
