Only after that supply is exhausted would they touch CFIs at bare mins, and again it’ll be at lower wages. Could be years and years before another 1500 hour CFI gets a signing bonus and CTP paid for.
Let’s see what happens to the cadet programs. Might be the first hint of what’s to come. If regionals dump them (and everyone in them) this summer, perhaps you have an answer.....
