Went to work at a 141 and saw they started out pay at 11.50 (thats with a single I, nothing else). My pay was 15.50, and even then wx brought my work hours a week to 20-30.

No one was really speaking up, so I did. Polled other CFIs, talked with mgmt, put together proposals...end result was a yin/yang: $3/hr pay bumps for all, but I was out of a job before that went into effect.

My sendoff message was that pay needs to increase more or they will lose CFIs quicker to 121 jobs. They didnt listen, so now students are waiting on CFIs who arent taking the lower paying job there.

Either put up a fight for fair pay or roll over and bend over...but dont whine and do nothing.
