I work at a flight school that specializes in Asian students also. As a whole, I would much rather teach Asian students than American. They never show up hung over, unprepared or unmotivated. They struggle with learning the motor skills but never give up. As for life as a CFI, I am salaried at almost twice what I would make at a regional. I have full benefits(health, dental, life, matching 401k and two weeks vacation). I have zero fear of being furloughed and am building on average 90 hours a month. I figure ill give it another year and see where the industry is at and reevaluate.
