International Aero Academy in Lakeland just launched a program where you can interview with United Express (Trans States Airlines) and get a conditional letter of employment BEFORE you start your training. 0-CFI in 7-8 months for $55,000. Trans States will supplement your CFI pay, you will join with 3 months of seniority and start receiving travel benefits of United as soon as you pass the interview. The program also works in conjunction with Southeastern University if you are looking to finance the training with student loans.
