Embry Riddle seeks Instructors
*word on the street riddle needs at least 85 instructors for the fall semester
Embry-Riddle will hold a Job Fair for CFI/CFII instructor pilots Friday, July 20, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the atrium of the Aviation Building at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach campus, 600 S. Clyde Morris Blvd.
Embry-Riddle’s compensation and employment program for instructor pilots is the best in the industry, with starting hourly wages that range from $15.77 to $22.05, free undergraduate and graduate tuition, excellent health benefits, paid holidays, retirement plans, personal-leave accrual, and a 100% uniform allowance.
Embry-Riddle offers the only all-glass cockpit primary training fleet in collegiate aviation. All of its 41 Cessna 172s and 10 Diamond DA42 Twin Stars are equipped with the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit and are model year 2005 or newer. The fleet also includes six Piper Arrows, one Decathlon (for upset training), 11 general aviation level-six flight-training devices with 220-degree visuals, and one level-six CRJ200 with a 180-degree display. Each aircraft is equipped with an ADS-B or TIS collision-avoidance system.
Job Fair attendees should bring with them a resume that includes current licensures, certificates, and medical; hours logged; total dual-instruction given; types of aircraft/simulators flown; employment history; business contacts; and references. Each candidate should be prepared for an onsite personal interview, a flight-training competency questionnaire, and a flight-training classroom demonstration that requires the candidate to teach one of the following three maneuvers: Lazy Eights, Chandelles, or Eights on Pylons.
The minimum qualifications required are FAA Certified Flight Instructor/Instrument CFI, CFII Airplane, Single Engine Land, and a Class III Medical.
For more information, contact Chuck Kelley in Embry-Riddle’s Human Resources Office at (386) 226-4956 or [email protected].

Not a chance. Everyone is still pumping out instructors too. The issue is to find good instructors to fill those positions. That can be much harder. At the school I instruct at, we have been short-staffed because we refuse to hire some of the people who apply with us. Good and bad for those of us who are working there though.

Not too sure what you're getting at, but I know more than a few instructors who have gotten their masters degrees and a few that are nearly finished with their bachelors here (ERAU-PRC) with the only cost being those of books.

Yeah, I've said it here before but my class' flight training got put on hold for about a week due to losing too many instructors to the industry. Due to mandated background checks and a couple other things they basicly couldn't replace the instructors as fast as they lost them (I think a good portion of the guys went to XJet).
Personally I think this is a great thing, maybe we'll be able to actually make some money instructing
