Default Denver Area

CFI, II, MEI I'm pretty drastically in need of income. Students are pretty hard to come by for an indpendent CFI and I'm relatively low-time (600TT, 55 multi) Re-locating isn't an option at this time. Anybdy know of anybody hiring around here?

How much dual given? Denver is a hard market to get into but easy to grow once you're in. Dress professionally and walk your resume into any flight school you can (BJC, APA, FTG). Make friends at these airports and get known around the area. Network, network, network

Only a handful of dual given. I've walked my resume in to several flight schools. In all but one, the answer was "we don't have enough work for the CFI's we've got, but if you show up with your own students, maybe we'll work with you". The one place that didn't say that still said I'd have to supply my own students.

My advice.

Be willing to relocate anywhere in the country if not the world for that first big flying job. If you are stuck with a one town mind set you are going to have a very tough go of it.

Get your swim trunks, surfboard, and move to florida. Plenty of CFI jobs there. Denver is a tough market.

Sorry buddy.

Been there and done this. Please feel free to disregard solid hard earned advice as you deem necessary. Seems that you've got it all figured out already General Yeager.
