Several of the more senior people that have moved on are flying charter jets. A couple others to Cape Air and a few flying C208s.
To my knowledge, most that moved on, that were actual LIFT students with a contractural job with RPA, retained the option to return once RPA starts hiring again.

I was an instructor for Lufthansa Air Training in Florida however they had shut down their doors and told their students to look for other work amid the pandemic which is understandable. I believe they still operate a school in Goodyear, Phoenix Arizona. ATP will do what they say, a bit higher priced but once the industry comes back, I am sure they will be flooded with students. I had a couple friends who instructed for ATP, but once they hit their 1500 hours, they lost their jobs to make way for new CFI's as ATP guarantees a CFI position to students who meet eligibility requirements.

Is ATP a good school to go to if the end goal is a regional ASAP? I’m looking at envoy more than anything, and my biggest worry is not being able to instruct enough after CFI to get to 1500 by the 2 year mark. I am
Wondering if it’s worth paying more just to teach at ATP?
