Flight Safety Academy - Instructor Path
Do any of you guys know about or work at Flightsafety Academy?
I am interested in teaching there and participating in this program:
http://www.flightsafetyacademy.com/c...instructor.php
I have a couple of questions;
What is the pay?
Are the working conditions good?
Is it paid per hour at work or per hour in the plane?
Hours per month?
Are there benefits for flight instructors? Medical? I know that sounds unheard of for most places but I know FSI is a huge company owned by Berkshire Hathaway so they may offer something like that.
Thanks

Good choice on the instructor route.
As of a year ago, they had a deal where if you stay with them for 800 hours of instructing (that should be about 8-10 months), they will reimburse you for the cost of your CFII and MEI. That's a solid $10,000 bonus. And you will need those 1050 or so hours in order to get on with a good regional (Skywest, Republic, Horizon...).
Also, at flight safety, they do instrument ratings in a mult engine aircraft, so you will have plenty of multi engine time!

I already have 615 hours CFII and Multi Commercial. I plan on completing my MEI in the near future. But If I havent done any training with them I wonder what their take on hiring an outside guy is. I gotta give them a call.
