i know we are really hurting for CFIs in the Northwest. My bosses have asked us to spread the word they will hire anyone to walk in the door with a CFI-A only and they can get the II later. AGI/IGI also not required! some people say the pilot shortage is bogus, it has been talked about for 20 years but i feel this is the beginning. When some majors have dropped their requirements for a bachelors degree and near historical low hourly requirements, and regionals are taking people with 25 hour multi time one has to think that there is a bit of desperation.

Central Ohio region is hurting for instructors at all levels right now. Most flight clubs and schools are down about 25% from what they would consider optimum staffing.
