Life as an instructor at ERAU is not too bad. I just graduated this past May from the University and worked as a Part Time Instructor. The difference between working at a local FBO and ERAU is the fact there is a fast majority of instruction which is done in FTD's for all courses. Most Full Time students are given Private and Commercial Students. Indoc last for approximately 3-4 weeks and then after they'll let you start working. There is never a lack of students as this fall the University is expecting to have over 900 flights students. Pay is no the best...15.50/hr plus benefits which include up to 6 credit hours for Ungrad/Grad classes. They were doing a signing bonus of CRJ FTD training or other benefits...however not sure on the status of that. If you have any other questions let me know. I will tell you this...it is not your local FBO, everything is extremely structured, which can be a plus an minus as they try to push as many kids as possible through the system. Over all it is a good flight department with some kinks to work out. Currently teaching in all Cessna 172SP NavIII, Piper Arrows, and all ME students are flying the DA-42 and Piper Seminole.
