I agree, in this job market they will have plenty of applicants above the CFI level.

I also agree with "Go to the interview." You've never worked in a corporate atmosphere; this will give an opportunity to briefly see what it is like. Within 15 minutes you may discover you really like this company, or you do not. Don't miss that opportunity though. One of the great abilities you have in the corporate side is you can sell yourself, make them see why they need you, and how you will help their flight department. From there you can ask about the compensation, explain the relocation, explain that you want to work there and if there is any room for discussion.

If they come back with, no, well at least you asked. If yes, there you go, work from there.

For me, this is a no-brainer to interview. Try to enjoy it and learn something.
