All i hope is that it's not a job that doesn't pay and treat someone like a professional. The only "cycle" this industry seems to go through is the "take the hit, work for nothing, so you can build your hours and move on" job where you work for far less than you are worth due to an expectation that the job doesn't really "matter" and the "now no one's hiring" cycle where declining business forces you to either get a job outside of aviation or sit tight, take paycuts, and hope one day things move again...Both of these are used as excuses by regionals and others to keep the wages low. Anyways, hopefully it's not that kind of job and a start for professionals,

I was just hired recently and haven't gotten any students yet, but was told that I would likely fly X amount of hours per year for Y amount of dollars per hour. It's not much....

I think I know what school he/she works for. Coincidently I was researching pilot mill schools and happened to come across the OP mentioning in a previous thread that he/she was hired there. It's the Sierra Academy of Aeronautics, and yes it does have pros and cons. Does anyone work there currently? I'd like to here more about how it is there, since currently I'm only flying four hours per week if that!!
