Apart from one thing there is very little garantee in life.
Aviation is no exception.
No garanteed pass, no garanteed checkride in 3 weeks and no garanteed job.
Majors, Regionals, Flow, CFI, it’s all not worth the paper it’s written on.
Why? Because this is a very dynamic market that’s why.
CFI is a pyramid scheme, as a student you only need one instructor but as an Instructor you need more then one student. So if you’re in a class of 10 and everyone is garanteed a job as CFI you need 30 new students. Where they plan on getting those? Unless you’re willing to only fly 20hrs/month on an hourly wage. Yes you have a garanteed job.
How much are you willing to pay extra for your training for this guaranteed job?
$5k? $10k?
Guaranteed makes you lazy too, why exert yourself?
I’d rather do a program where the top 3 get a job and make sure I’m one of them.
Just good for thought.
Yes!! Although I have never thought of it as a pyramid scheme... It does fit.
To the OP, Rick and Tired make solid points.
Pick a school based on your training needs, timeline, cost, availability, etc. Study hard, and fly well. Listen to your instructor, ask questions for clarification. Equally important, show up when you are supposed to show up. That is your guarantee to a job.
We are entitled to nothing, your knowledge and ability should be what you rely on.
