I'll bet everyone who does this gets to share the same apartment.

On a serious note, internships at no pay are a routine part of American business. I'm not so sure there is a legal challenge to this scheme.

With that info, I think it would be safe to assume that their attitude towards payroll is similar to their attitude towards maintenance spending...

The CFI will have to get his/her parents to continue to subsidize their career. After all, if they continue to persue a career in aviation, they will not only expect mom and dad to give more and more money, but also room and board.
How may FOs at your regional airline are sadly still living with mom and dad?

Room and Board

The board, in this case, is a synonym for food. I assume you know that... but you never know.

Room and board - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What I'd like to know is what are the students being charged?. Are they paying for a/c only?. Very doubtful. Most likely it'll be packaged without itemizing it (a/c + instruction = total fee). I'm sure those "CFIs" are going to be huddled in a shack near the airport resembling a third world country prison (8x10 room with 4 cots for 10 occupants, and a bucket). To each their own.

The name of the website is "Will Fly For Food", so they are just living up to their name.
