Think Pay for Training is bad? Look at this:
 

from my Hilton Honors weekly news letter:

http://www.vocationvacations.com/Dre...instructor.php

"Dream Job" and "A lot of your time is spent trying to not get killed by the person on your left" all in the same brochure - sign me up :D

HA, I love it.

"Note: To be eligible to take the Flight Instructor VocationVacation, one must be able to provide proof of having a valid private pilot’s license from one of the fifty United States."

I didn't know that your state issued your license.....hmmmmmm. I must've missed something in the regs about this one!

I really want to hate this but, on a certain level, $1049 doesn't seem like the worst investment for someone with a private who is undecided on whether to go "all the way" through to their instructor certs. Sure you could join a club and do it for free, but there is a logic to it.

Then again, who in their right mind vacations in Corona?

Maybe you are right. I am just waiting for the Male Prostitute vacation.

Is this what flight instructors do?
 

I detest cute statements like "trying to not get killed by the person on your left."

It doesn't help to attract aviation outsiders to stop by their local flight schools.

Ok, so you just spent 10k and spent 40 hours with an instructor the get your Private cert... Now you want to spend over 1000 dollars to see what an instructor does??? This makes no sense to me!!! I would think that by now you would know?!?!?! Oh well, just my 2 cents.
