New Pilot Question

Post by C-GGGQ »

i'm fresh out of flight school (not some diploma program, i paid my dues and worked ramp through the whole thing :P just joshing the diploma grads) now I've been looking for jobs for a month or two now and have recieved 1 phone interview and thats it. I have the option of keeping with applying to every ad on this site (and a couple of others) or my instructor has guaranteed me a position at the school if i get my instructor rating (schools expanding new fleet, international students etc.) problem is i'm reluctant to spend another 7-8K. should i take the offer or keep looking

I have:
210 TT
MIFR
Navajo time

Do what makes you happy.

I would suggest a road trip. You may get lucky, you may not. Instructing is not for everyone.

and he's in charge of hiring the new instructors he needs (2) and i know the owner of the flight school as well, two new flight instructors have been improved and its the CFI's choice who he picks. He's got one student just finishing hes instructor rating and me those are the two he hiring.

road trip, with those hours the job isn't coming to you, get out there and camp on some CP lawn till he hires you.
