CAE Oxford- MESA
Just curious. Are there any instructors here that currently work for CAE-Oxford out of KFFZ. I see that they are looking for CFI's. Seems like good pay, benefits, and hiring bonus. On the surface it looks like a really good deal, but was looking for any red flags that I should know about.

I know one person that used to instruct there. Overall, she enjoyed her experience.
The only thing she mentioned is the fact that the indoc is very long (30-45 days).
The EASA side of the operation seemed very structured and they bubbled wrap the students and instructors.
Any other current info would be appreciated. I might also be applying there soon.

Not to scalp the thread but you can also do the EASA at CTC (an L3 Technologies Company) and the salary starts at $46,000 plus full bennies if that's what people are after. Seems this EASA line of work pays more I've found in my experience if a flight instructor can say so anyway.

I am an FAA CFI, could I instruct on the EASA side?

IIRC, CTC also had some sort of bridge program with Continental. It was very similar to the Commutair deal. You had to work for them 2 years or 1500 hours (which ever came last). I just went to their website to verify that but they have completely revamped it. You might want to look into though, it seemed like a really good program they were offering especially with the salary they are offering.
