The new planes they purchased from Piper are Archers, not Warriors. BFD. They ordered 22 of them when there are a lot more instructors and the chances of you seeing one of those new plnaes very often are slim to none - it's simple math. You'll probabl end up flying the crappy Warrior II's their going to keep for the junior instructors. If you come to work here to fly a new piston airplane and overlook the crappy way they treat their instructors, then you're nuts.
Again, take from this what you will. Dont say I didn't warn you if you take a job there and are unhappy in two weeks. I just hope you don't uproot your life to go work there. Nuff said.....

Weighing it out
I am weighing it out here. I'll stay at my flying club instructing unless CAE or some other company hires me to teach foreign students. I hear the pay is better for foreign students. How long would a CFI have to teach before being assigned to foreign students? What is the pay difference anyway? Do they offer benefits?
What is the negativity about CAE with some of you? I would like to know what some of the specifics are. I met a CAE Oxford CFI who told me it was great. A common thread seems to be that something is wrong at CAE. Can someone please elaborate?

I live in Vero Beach as well, and I can confirm that as well. They actually have a brand new Oxford Aviation aircraft on display there as well. As well as many new archers on the ramp. I saw this yesterday passing by FlightSafety.
Another word of advice, never bad mouth a company. If you have problems, put up and shutup or leave and find something else worth your while.But APC isn't a place to complain and moan of a company where it seems as though some have had no problems. When a few out of the bunch are having problems you tend to look like the sore thumb's out the group. My .02 G'day!

CAE really only teaches foreign students so, yes you would be teaching them from the start. Once you have some time instructing, then you can get authorized from EASA to teach european students. Once you get that, you do make more.
I honestly have no idea why people are so negative about CAE. I'm at the Mesa location (KFFZ) and I think it is a great place to work. There's never a shortage of students, you'll fly 60-80 hours a month (I know that's a big range, it just depends on how many students are allocated to you).
The pay is great, and you get two days off a week, paid vacation time and benefits. What else can you ask for? It's a professional place to work and just about every instructor there really wants to be there and enjoys it.
