CFI pay
I did a search to see if there was already a thread on this but came up empty.
What's the going wage for a new CFI (not interested in 2+ years of CFI experience positions). Locally I'm seeing roles in the $20-25/hr that average 60-100 hours a month.
What else is out there and what are they offering pay/hours wise?

Quieter, low cost of living locations will be in that $20-25 range.
High training volume and high cost of living areas will likely be $25-30.

Between $25-$30 in my area, once you specialize or CFII or ME it can go up to $40-$50 but you cant get as many hours as CFI but that could change depending on demand.
I do not know from experience, just from calling around to the local schools in my area, Central FL. I am not a pilot yet but just checking around in my area to see what the demand is. So far everyone I talked to said they need CFI's, so it shouldnt be a problem finding a job.
