What all does the bonus program consist of?
It also depends on the program as well as experience. There are Level 3 or Level 4 Instructors. Level 3 covers turboprops and small jets and Level 4 programs start with mid-sized and up, jets. Right now the lowest I'm hearing on the turboprops is around 70k with a 5-10k signing bonus. Again its all on the experience level too. It may vary either way. Also we have a great bonus program built in, in addition to your base salary. To some this may be low, but what I've heard is that our health benefits are far superior than CAE. No co-insurance/deductibles. How do I know that? Well we have had instructors go over there and end up coming back to FlightSafety, just because of the training environment and politics. Also I have some personal friends over there too. Totally different, nothing negative just different philosophy. I'm a current FSI instructor and am happy to answer any questions.

What does the timeline look like from new hire to program manager? Does the move up in management translate to a better QoL, or is it purely a salary increase?

No, classroom doesn't count. Recurrent ground instructors (where I was anyway) could expect to do double ground schools (0730-1130 and 1200-1600 or 1200-1600 and 1630-2030) 6 days a week.
Or ground in the morning followed by sim in the afternoon, or vice versa.

Hi, wondering if anyone has any updated intel on sim instructor hiring/positions at CAE vs. FSI. Looking at West Coast facilities, namely LAS and LGB for the 2 companies respectively. Any information is good, but I'm curious about scheduling/QOL. I'm happy to chat via PM if that's easier.
Thanks!
Thanks!
