Well, we are paid by the hour, so it is good incentive to work

But in all fairness, i make my own hours and I really dont mind putting in a few LONG and by few I mean alot of flying hours.

Its alot of fun all said and done.

Work Ethic helps

What is the typical split between multi and single engine time?

Depends how long you dont have your MEI for

But once you start teaching Multi you primarily stick with multi, unless you are on a contract and start the people single engine, then transition them into the multi.

But alot of people leave with either 800/400 or 600/300

I've known some to leave with more multi than single time. During a normal 800 hour contract time frame.

Anyone have any information on getting a CFI job at FSA? Bennies? Pay? Requirements?

Is Vero Beach the only place where FSA employs CFIs?

So you can work as little or as much as you want? You can make your own schedules? That seems ideal for someone in college. Would it be ok to take a few weeks off a year?

Pretty much, however, most CFIs work a good bit. I make my own schedule but I try to work as much as possible.

Keep in mind you are signing a DUAL given contract when you get hired, so if you only work 3 hrs a day itll take a good 2 years for you to finish it.

On the other side, if you dont mind the contract go ahead. FSA does have good bennies and you get 2 weeks of vacation a yr.

Call em and ask.

I don't know which FSA you're working for, but I only get 5 days of vacation a year.
