If you would like some more information about the University of Central Missouri you can go to University of Central Missouri - Warrensburg, Missouri. The Department of Aviation’s website is College of Science and Technolgy :: Department of Aviation : University of Central Missouri. Also, if you would like some information about Warrensburg and other local city’s here are a few more sites; Warrensburg, MO - Warrensburg, Missouri GoBurg , Lee’s Summit, MO - Lee's Summit, Missouri Tourism Online , Kansas City, MO - Kansas City : VisitKC.com Official Travel Source.

The cost of living in Warrensburg, MO is low. Single bedroom apartments from $299 - $599 a month. Two/Three bedroom apartment from $499 - $899 a month. Warrensburg has a “small” town feel to it; however, a 45 min. drive will get you to Lee’s Summit which has many stores you are probably accustomed to (Best Buy, Kohl’s, JC Penney, Macy’s, Old Navy, Borders, etc.).

Good Luck!

Thanks for the listing. Do you know what a CFI/CFII/MEI with C172, G1000 and 141 experience can expect to make hourly and how many hours one can fly?

The pay structure begins at 10.50hr. Each of the following are a one dollar/hr raise: CFII, MEI, BS, MS, 100hrs. dual given, 300hrs. dual given, 500 hrs. dual given, 800hrs. dual given, 1000hrs given (maxes out at 19.50).

They try their hardest to accommodate instructors they hire from outside the area (out of state really) by making sure they have a full load of students. I'm gonna low ball it and guess that you would get between 4-8hrs. a day 5 days a week. It really depends on your motivation and willingness to work. I know of instructors there that put in close to 40hrs. a week and others that only put in 15hrs. a week (this includes ground so not all flight time).

Hope this helps.

Let me know if you all have any other questions.

JUst wondering if there were any benefits and if the job is classified as part time or full time?

There are no health benefits. The job is classified as part time. However, the University is operated by appointment letters. An appointment letter is given for x number of months. The CFI appointment letter is a 12 month letter. After the 12 months a new appointment letter is drafted and singed.

Got the call this evening late that I'm invited to the in person interview.

Anyone else here going?

Well, from what I have gathered through the grape vine is that the powers to be have finished interviewing for the available positions. I guess those of you that got hired I'll meet at training.

They are hiring again, but AVOID THIS PLACE, all they ever do is threaten to fire everyone after 6 months based on student stage check completion. It was hard to watch students go through this place being nickeled and dime for everything, including phone calls were billable.

The pay is not very good either. I emailed my resume in and was contacted for an interview the next day. I have a few hundred dual given and some skill teaching. They wanted me to drive/fly up for an interview to make 50% of my current hourly rate. Instructor rates are not going to go up to what we are worth until we demand more.

Only problem is, just like the airlines, there are hundreds of CFI's with thousands of hours of dual given on the street looking for a CFI job. But there are just as many (if not more) freshly minted CFIs with 0 under "Dual Given" in their logbook.

What's even worse, is there are Furloughed airline pilots who are looking to get a CFI gig until they get called back

I flew a TOTAL of 50 hours as a senior MEI there last semester - the place only had 40 students in the spring semester, most people drop out after a semester aswell..... AVOID

Glad I didn't fly up for an interview than.

I know things are bad right now for a lot of people but there ARE some jobs out there. We just need to ask for what we think we are worth or the pay will stay $hit.

Good call, yeah most of their students are broke and cant fly - they dont tell students about how expensive it is to fly ontop of college tuition it is before hand.

That's what loans are for. I did a Business Degree plus the flight ratings and am now starting my MBA. Debt is just part of life. I use to instruct at WMU where students easily spend 120k for their flight science degrees.

PM me if you want the low down from the view of someone who didnt go there.
