| Flight Schools:
These companies are dedicated to providing quality flight
instructing at a reasonable cost to their customers. Whether
it is through an FBO, a university, or a small business principally
offering flight instruction. All of these are alike in that
they will not be able to offer this service unless they have
qualified personnel. With many airlines and cargo operations
beginning to hire recently, the turnover for businesses has
begun to increase as well. The problem is that many of these
instructors leaving are some of the more experienced instructors
within the staff. This web site will be able to help these
companies search for not only brand new instructors, but those
with more experience as well. Flight schools will be able
to maintain their own listing on our web site distributing
this information to instructors all over the country. If desired,
they can have their logo associated with their listing as
a free source of advertising. The more attractive your logo
is generally means the more traffic you will receive by curious
customers. Flight schools may also want to provide certain
packages based on employment such as providing an add-on rating
at a reduced rate, or in the case of a university program,
the chance to receive a degree in aviation while instructing.
This web site is designed to help your company gain not only
a new employee, but potentially a new customer as well.
New Instructors:
After receiving your initial CFI you can finally start giving
back to the aviation community, and actually make money doing
it. However, in many cases there are new instructors still
searching for a job months after receiving their certificate.
Usually the first option is to ask around to see if anyone
knows of who may be looking for a new CFI. Since aviation
is an industry dependent on building a good network of friends
and mentors, this may help you land that first job. In many
cases this is unsuccessful and the next step is to sign on
to the web. After searching tirelessly to the end of the Internet,
the majority of aviation job search engines seem to only have
listings requiring thousands of hours of total time as well
as turbine experience. As a last resort instructors now have
to search for FBOs around the country and call or fax each
one independently. This scenario is all too familiar and we
have created this web site to try and smooth the transition
for new instructors around the country. All of the information
they will need is now consolidated into one web site. New
CFIs can search for companies suiting their own needs whether
it be the location, pay scale, types of aircraft, or even
the ability to gain additional ratings while they instruct.
Instructors on the move:
There are sometimes cases where people have to move to another
location and leave their current place of employment. This
means having to find a job at their new location as soon as
possible in order to keep paying those bills. We created this
web site to help you find employment before you even begin
the move. With this site you will be able to search for all
available job listings in the area where you will be moving.
We think moving is stressful enough and there should be someone
there to help you out in finding a good place to continue
instructing.
Instructing as a career:
Thousands of pilots are feel that instructing is what they
would like to do for a living, and how can we blame them.
Professional flight instructing can provide an extremely rewarding
career for those who just truly love to teach, and return
home every night to raise a family. Companies recognize this
and tend to provide competitive pay scales to loyal employees
who would like to make an investment in the company. Employee
turnover can be a problem in aviation, and pilots who make
a solid commitment to a company will be rewarded for doing
so. With nearly 1200 flight schools listed in our database,
we feel that we can help you search for that ideal place to
make that commitment and begin your career.
