Westwind, across the street from aeroguard. I got a ton of flying in and you make your own schedule, unlike aeroguard. I went there to build time quicker than northeast Ohio and I LOVED it there. It’s a family atmosphere and the pay is very good ($30 an hour for CFII.) I hit 100 hours a month every month except my first. You want a day off, just don’t schedule students. It’s nice. My last paycheck there before going to Republic airlines was $2,700 AFTER taxes for a two week period.

CAE is growing and needing instructors the good thing about them is its salary the bad thing is they are salary. Alot of the instructors there are getting around 80 -90 hours in a month and they have opportunity to fly a 6th day if you want it. the FAA program flys the diamond 40 with G1000.

AeroGaurd flys alot also but they are a goofy company in my opinion. never flew with them this is my view of them after talking with alot of there pilots if you go with them try to get deer valley location alot more flying there. they also have a flow through from what i understand into skywest.

good luck on your adventure.

Flyhigher90,
Do you currently work at CAE? I have an interview with them on Wednesday, deciding between them and Aeroguard. From the people I have talked to at Aeroguard seems to be a mixed bag. Some like it, some don't. I get a better vibe from CAE though, also equipment looks much nicer.

I interviewed at CAE. Ended up going someplace else, but it seemed like a real professional outfit. I was impressed.

If anyone wants to teach ab-initio Chinese students, IASCO in California is paying $45,000 a year. (IASCO used to be where they trained ab-initio Japan Airline students, I don't know if they still do.)

Almost starting to seem as if there will be a growing number of CFIs who are actually going to be taking noticeable pay cuts to move on to the regionals.

That's what I realized after a couple paychecks. My lowest one was $1100, because we had lots of planes down and it's been tough to fly with the high temps and thunderstorms the last month or so. Assuming $40/hr as a new FO and a monthly guarantee of 75 hours, that's literally how much I'm averaging now as an instructor. And on the good months, around $1600-1800/paycheck, I'll be making less at a regional. It's be an even bigger cut to go somewhere like Mesa or Skywest that are around $36/hour.

Are CFI’s getting 80 hours/month in Redding at IASCO?
