Hmmm... 300 a week = 14,400 a year ....in the boston area .... That might buy a cardboard box down by the river.

The pay is "competitive" for an entry level position.

You get a soggy cardboard box as a signing bonus.

is this at Exec flyers?

dkozak · January 3rd, 2007, 20:43

Yo Jimmy Dean,

I am an interested CFII with 200 hours of G1000 time. Got any more details? Is there any salary on top of the 20 hours? Thanks for the post.

There are CFI jobs in lot of places where you make 25-30 an hour starting. If you have time to look just keep looking and you will find one. I'm looking at couple in Houston right now that pays 25 an hour which is great cause out here in Texas you can get a pritty nice apartment in a fairly nice area for about 400 a month. In Boston areas you will be lucky to find an old ladys rotten basement. Bedford is a nice area to live. I lived in Burlington for about a year, but not the best place to find descend place to stay considering how you much you will make.

I was really interested to work at a flight school in Bedford cause I love Boston, but then I realized considering how much I will make I will be pritty stupid to even dream of moving there for a CFI job.

I don't like Texas, but seems like the best place to stay untill I make enough money.

I love flying more than anything. It's not about money. I don't care for money, but I have to eat you know.

Oh man, that's classic.

hey AirplaneCrazy, did you instruct for north ramp in BTV? know nick santo?

just curious cause you're new, welcome to JC

Airplane Crazy · January 7th, 2007, 08:32

No sir. Sorry for the confusion. I lived in Burlington Massachusetts back in 2001 when I first moved to States to go to school. In 2002 I moved to Waco Texas to go to school. Biggest mistake of my life cause Texas is no place for foreigners and I don't like the lifestyle here. I'm more like European style guy. It is true that people are nice in the south, but they are only nice to people they are familiar with. Texas cowboys like no foreigners. They think I'm weird and I think they are weird.

I just graduated from last month. About ready to take my CFI ride. Just not feeling comfortable about FOI stuff yet.

So my plan was to move back up North East for jobs, but realizing the reality that CFI jobs up there might not pay enough to even pay bills I decided to force myself to stay in Texas for maybe one more year. Cause out here if you mae even a thousand bucks a month it's enough to stay in a descent apratment in a nice area and still leaves you enough money to pay bills and eat. But there are CFI jobs in Houston and Dallas area that pays about 25-30 dollars and hour.

I'm not trying to say I'm into money, but I gotta eat you know. Making 1500 a month in New England is laughable. Even bus boys in North End makes more money then that. If it was a job that lets me fly an airplane that got two turbine engines hanging on it then I'd fly for free, but to fly Cessna again and be broke I'd rather stay in Texas one more year.

By the way thanks for the welcome. Always nice to hear nice things from people.

You better hope that statement doesn't make it out of this thread.

Listen everyone, it's a job available, and there is pay involved. I never said the pay was going to be sufficient for any particular candidate. If it's not, just don't apply.

This is a real opportunity for some people.

Any possibility of working part-timeish? I can only do Fri-Mon..

We'll typically only hire part-time CFIs if they have previous instructing experience. If you do, feel free to apply. I'd be happy to walk your resume in.

Fri-Mon would be pretty ideal for a part-timer, as the weekend warriors love to fly on, uh, weekends.

Send me a PM if you're interested.

av8sean · January 18th, 2007, 23:49

Sadly no experience... I have my commercial and I'm going to ATP soon for CFI's, so I'll be a newbie. Thanks for the help!

and where might this 25-35$ an hour houston cfi job be at? im from rhode island and the housing is way too expensive, which is one of the reasons i came down to texas. im an instructor now in houston, and im familiar with a lot of the places around here, but im not sure which ones youre talking about.

Thank you for being one of the reasons pilot pay is at an all-time low.
