Edit** I also instructed around 1300hrs last year on top of my other flying. If you want to pick up some hours and experience quickly it's a great way to go. |
Wings Aloft has had some cash flow issues in the last 8 months resulting in bounced paychecks and some vendors not wanting to work with them. (ask around the airport) Instructors were told to buy fuel with their personal credit cards and wait for reimbursement.
At one pilot meeting one of the chief instructors told the pilots what other schools in the area were hiring. |

Stay away from Havery field (S43). I was there for a little over a year. You will hate working for the Harvey family after about 2 weeks.
If you have your 135 IFR mins, try Aeroflight out of BFI. I had a great time flying checks around the NW. |
Auburn is good
I flew at Auburn Flight Service as in instructor which was a good place to work. Shawn Pratt is the Chief there. Know your technical stuff. His interview is like a ATP check ride.

Stay the hell away from Wings. There are about 30 instructors there all competing for the same student. Do yourself a favor, head up to Everett, or hit up the Narrows. Both of those airports have good ILS's that you can use to teach with when the weather turns to pot here in a few months.
Diito on the Auburn. Auburn is so busy sometimes, I think it needs a Tower. |
Becareful about the schools that are doing the training of foreign pilots. Some schools are so desparate for CFIs that they are hiring from out of state and putting the CFIs up in rundown apartments that they share with their students.

I noticed that Aeroflight is now Aeroflight Academy of Aviation. What's with that? Did they open a training portion of it in BFI???

Oh, and IFS for the Air Force is done in Pueblo, CO now. It is the only place it is conducted.

Too bad to, it was the cheapest (by far) school at KBFI with 152's renting for $59. They also had a huge rental fleet including 2 mooneys, a Cessna 140, several 172s and 152s, a dutchess, 172RG, and a cherokee 140. My instructor was great and I think she went on to fly cargo for them when they closed the flight school. Anywho, I'd love to know if the flight school has opened up again. I'm sure any job with them would be great though as they are a 1st rate operation. I flew a 172 in there last september and saw many of the same staff that were there in 2003. |
