Correct me if I'm wrong... are not most school on the west coast short instructors? If you require a min 500 hours, Proficiency in Japanese, bush / mountain course + floats as assets and they will be doing dispatch work... do you think industry standard wages will attract many resumes... yes Campbell River is a nice spot, but who with these qualifications would move there for this position at industry standard wages in a pilots market?

was wondering the same thing. There are schools out here that have had to close down, not becuase they don't have students but because they cant get qualified staff (CFI) SO....I don't know how those guys expect to get anyone

From what I understand. A few schools on the Island cannot find CFI's at all. A friend of mine was looking for a class III and couldn’t find one with a $2000.00 base.


Good luck finding one that can speak Japanese.

What is an advanced mountain flying course?

What qualifications do you need to teach it?

What certificate is issued as proof you have passed it?

What is a " mountain flying bible " ?

A BCFS Approved Advanced Mountain Course is available, oh but wait, it's for HELICOPTER pilots.... Never heard of such a beast in FW.

As for Bibles, there's no link between religion and mountain flying - ask the two priests who smeared themselves across Fox Lake in the Yukon back about 6 or 7 years ago. But they may have been using the "force," can't remember now.

STL, these " Advanced " mountain courses that are given by flight schools always facinated me. What exactly are the qualifications that a flight instructor must have to teach these courses?

Would you or I need to take this " Advanced " course to qualify for a job that probably pays around the minimum wage?

Probably the same guys giving float ratings with 200 hours TT and 15 hours on floats.

I think the best way to describe it is as THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND
