Looking for decent CFI job in Florida.
 

I am going to relocate to Florida from CA. I am looking for a quality school, Academy or University type. I am curious to hear from presently or previously employed CFI's about some of the schools. I am leaning toward a good school which will look good on a resume.
I am presently employed at a smaller school in CA. I want to work at one other school to help round-out my experience before moving on.
I have all my ratings with 800 hrs. TT, 500+ Dual, & 90 ME.
I'm not interested in applying at any small regional airline.

Can't help you with any big schools, but welcome to APC!

Man you've got googobbs of flight schools, academies, blah blah blah blah to choose from. All I can say is do the research and pick one.

As far as CFI'ing from what I've read, I would suggest Ari-ben or ATP. Actually, no matter which website I go to it seems that all schools are looking for CFI's.

Thanks for the feedback atpwannabe.
I have been researchin'. Picking one is hard. The websites are all bright and shiny. Students or employees are, without a doubt, the best gauge. This is all part of the research.
Thanks for the help!

Go check them out.

You WILL find a high paying CFI job over at KTMB airport down in Miami. I fly for one of the 4 or so very busy flight schools on the airport.

Thanks for the help!!

In Florida....remember...the higher the cost of living the higher the salary should be. Just to let you know, the average hourly wage in Palm Beach County, FL right now is $17/hr. This is for a non-aviation vocation.

go to Orlando flight training in Kissimmee. $30 hour or $40 with a 12 month contract. fly over 100 hour a month.

You know guys, with what's about to come down the pipeline as far as hiring goes in the Regional airline market....let's just say hiring period....CFI'ing may not be a bad way to go for some. I know I had plan on getting my CPL w/instrument & ME rating ; foregoing my SE/CPL and CFI and building time in a ME a/c the best way I could. I dunno now :(. A lot is going on behind the scenes. I'm having to modify my plans already.
