Hi All,
Before Covid, does anyone have a gauge on how long it actually took to get to 1500 as a CFI? I know the training centers will quote 18 mo, but is that realistic?
Reason I ask, (seems to me) that each student would need to train 4 students to get the additional ~ 1200 hours needed to get to ATP. Is the pipe expanding that much? Or does this model require a lot of students going to low hour time building like pipeline monitoring and skydiving?
It just seems like the path to 1500 as a CFI requires a lot of luck and sales. I could see there being a lot of variance in the 18 months quoted by those big pilot factories.
Any thoughts appreciated
