If I lived in base I might consider it but I cannot commute to CLT without a more stable schedule.
I'm maybe a 15 minute drive to the CLT sim building. I'm surprised at the pay, even Flight Safety is offering $70-$80 starting out and they still can't get enough instructors. I probably won't be interested in full time employment because of the 50% hit I take when going over $35K/yr.
Does anyone know if the Sim Instructors also have to teach groundschool? Or do they just work strictly in the Sim with occasional office work?
Even at $50-60K I still find it hard to believe more local retirees aren't all over these openings.
