Not to mention the fact that we aren’t hiring a whole lot of 23 year old CFI’s. Average age in my class was probably mid 30’s. People with families that want the health insurance or need the quick bonus money. People not looking to uproot their lives.
And any people we recruit that are for whatever reason super excited to leave their friends and family and move to the middle of nowhere are probably offset by the number of Wisconsin, Chicago, and DC recruits that are going to go to SKW, PSA, or Envoy to still live and upgrade in base.
