We do have accelerated students as well, but there's only so many and we have a LOT of experienced CFI's. Our current CFI/CFII graduates have no options for working here right now. When we start getting pilots moving out to other opportunities we'll start hiring again. Think July or August. We might have a few in May, but it would be overstaffing again and mostly internal. Realistically, think Novemeber application, December hiring. Looking about 30 hrs/week with full load right now... if the weather is good.
Wow kinda puts this market in real perspective when even a CFI can't find a job....sigh...guess ill take my time on the rating
