Does the Riverside branch have a good ammount of planes and a what is the safety record. If I wanted to work for them can I pick a location or do they just place you where they want you. for instance I would want to get my CFII in vegas and teach in southern cal. is that possible? I have heard the ground school is done sort of as study on your own and take your test with them? I will think of more questions I am sure so if we could email each other that would so great
thanks for the response.
The first 7 days of the CFI school is all classroom, and its intense. After that, its all flying and check rides. They give you a certain amount of flight time and sim time with a +/- built in. The only extra cost that you may incur is if there is weather etc. you might have to rent your hotel room a little longer. They only do the CFI class at certain locations. I think its is JAX, ATL, LAS, and maybe riverside. The info is on the website. I had a little delay in scheduling the MEI Initial check ride with the feds because they were so busy. For the ACPP, you pick the location and they put you in the nearest location for the CFI school depending on where you pick to go. Pretty much you can have your choice, you might just have to wait for it.
They get you so much flight time because they have so many planes and so many locations that they need to move the planes around. They use your X-C training and time building to move the A/C around the country. Dispatch and MX is fantastic and run very much like an airline.
