Default Flight Safety

Are there any Flight Safety instructors around? I have a interview question that I would rather not discuss in public. If you could PM me please Thanks!

Not an instructor there but was told that you get to show them how you teach.
Our instructor made them laugh by giving a detailed description about a piece of his farm equipment: His back hoees hydralic system. Originality helped him get the job. Just a thought. Good luck.

I do know a guy that did his interview facilitated teaching session on the merits of adopting a retired racing Greyhound as a pet. Along with a systems discussion on the cardiovascular and muscular system that makes them so darn fast. That person was hired...

The key word is "Facilitated," i.e. No lecture.

Thanks for the reply. I did my on a hydraulic system on a aircraft that I flew a long time ago. I went that direction because the Director of Training had said he preferred an Aircraft System over non aviation related presentation. I was going to do it on something else but with the Director of Training suggesting aircraft systems I decided it would not be a good idea to go out side of aviation lol.

I too have an interview with Flight Safety. Can you tell me if there were questions asked by the panel doing the interview, that were not related to your "facilitated training session"? Were you hired? Can you give any idea of pay scales? Thanks for any help you can give.

Guessing the interview experience may vary from Center-to-Center, but my "non-teaching" portion of the interview was just get-to-know-you type stuff. Wanted to know why FlightSafety? Why leave current job? But also asked stuff like where's your fav vacation spot? WWYD if you won the lottery? Are you done flying? WWYD if American calls you tomorrow? Very laid back and was all done over lunch.

Yes, was hired and worked there for two years. Great place, really enjoyed it. But an excellent Pt 91 (hopefully retirement job) opportunity came my way and I left. Pay will vary depending on what tier/level (forget what they call it) you're teaching on. I'd expect mid-$60k?

Pay scale varies based on aircraft type (considered "levels"). Program Managers get an additional increase. There's also a bump for evaluators (examiners). Historically increases have been 1-4% of pay the last couple years. There's always a teaching portion regardless of center.
