It's a good gig. Pay is great and there are ample students (thanks, China). The interview process is straight forward. Written test (Gleim instrument, COMM, and CFI), simulator portion (SR20 FTD- basics like steep turns, engine failure memory items, teach an HR person who knows nothing about flying to do a traffic pattern, etc), and an HR interview. If you get hired there is a week long class room portion (just like Indoc) and then 7 or 8 flights/sims where you learn the maneuvers and the SR20. The school is good for students as long as you are prepared to study and devote your life to flying (which is why you'd even consider going to a school like that in the first place, right?). A lot of students wash out because they are lazy and don't treat it like a full time job. The chinese students can get through the program because they are forced to fly everyday, study when they're not flying, and basically live at the airport. Before I left I was making BANK.
