Any suggestions for succeeding in the phone interview and surviving the probation period? What should a guy expect during the probation period? Is it intense or more of a formality? |
HI there flyer
CAll me if you want to discuss it in greater detail. But to answer your questions briefly I always say to applicants if you have the financial means available go ahead and get all three ratings done so you can soley concentrate on your work and complete your ten months maximizing your flight time and income.
On the other hand most people are pretty much broke when they finish there CFI initial and they academy is pretty good in the sense that you can work teaching private for a couple of months, save some money then take a week of and do 1 of 2 things.........1. Use the company facilities to do a COMBINED CFII/MEI - its quick and it will save you money. 2....go to ATP and get a crash course (LITERALLY) in multi engine flying - dont recommend that one, but heck the choice is yours. You would be surprised how much money you can save up in 2-3 months at the school if you refrain from indulging in certain social activities !!!!!!!
Telephone Interviews will be available till the end of January. Starting in February the initial interview will be via phone, but all applicants will be required to visit the campus for formal testing (YES FOLKS GEORGE HAS WRITTEN A NEW AND IMPROVED TEST/////////LOL).
You are more than welcome to call any time or email me with your resume and I will send you some more information. If I dont answer I am flying, just leave me a message
