Good luck to the current CFIs there, and the dozens of current students that will become CFIs in the next couple months. The whole virus situation had already drastically reduced the number of students coming to the program. We already knew that the current and future CFIs will have a really hard time next year to find students to build their hours. Now with the increased tuition (85 instead of 65), and no financing, LIFT just made their life 10X worse. Perhaps on purpose, hoping CFIs start dropping out of the program.

ATP-Fast. But high loan payments and bad CFI pay. Dont know the exact cost for 2020
LIFT-OK CFI pay. Subsidized cost. But 5 year contract with Republic. Don't what exactly happens if you break the contract.
Lufthansa Flight Training-Relatively unknown. $105k estimated cost. Don't know if CFI job is guaranteed and if I need IASA or European residency. Not exactly sure if there would be a contract with Lufthansa or not.
Oh and I'm pretty much broke.
Need guidance folks.

Also, is LIFT still having difficulty hiring students that have completed the program as new CFI's?
