University Chief Flight Instructor

[Phil2016]

Thought I would post this in case anyone is interested in working for my alma mater. I'd be happy to give more details on the community, etc. I spent a year there working for the University after graduating...great benefits package (as do most universities). Warrensburg is about 45 miles southeast of Kansas City and is 10 miles west of Whiteman AFB (home of the B-2....nothing like spotting a B-2 at your 12 o'clock in a C150).

I was thinking that too when I posted it. Higher education HR offices have a tendency to make things overly complicated.

My favorite though was the special working condition: "exposure to heights and loud noises." You think??

It's an entirely different type of job. Being a Part 141 Chief Flight Instructor is a big job anyway.
