Instructing after the pro-course??

Is this position really guaranteed? Is this in writing?

Nope. Not guaranteed, and definately not in writing, but it's almost inconceivable why one wouldn't get hired.

When I was there, the school hired a Pro Course graduate who had failed his initial Instructor Checkride (MEI) twice, and then after he was instructing for a while, failed his Part 141 instrument certification ride with our Chief Pilot. He was still teaching away when I left!

He's only one example but there are others. I know of a couple that didn't get hired, but its because they had "personal issues" with the owner.

They say "those who can't "teach?" Might that be the case? Even if his own personal flying prowess wasn't up to snuff, how were his instructional skills?

Cliche not true in this case...'nuff said.
