I'm going for a CFI Job at Aerosim, Advice?
 

A week after submitting my resume to Aerosim, they've called me up and scheduled a phone interview! I am extremely excited and really look forward to working with such a great company!

Has anybody gone through the phone interview in the past, and can you send out any advice? I asked if there was anything specific I should know or be prepared for, and they told me no. But I also don't want to be thrown any curveballs! Anybody have any kind of gouge of sorts?

I was thinking about applying to Aerosim as well. So any information would be appreciated!

If Aerosim is the former Delta Connection Academy, former Comair Aviation Academy, based in Sanford, FL...well, I used to work there back in 2000-2001.

I was based at the CRG (Jacksonville, FL) location. CRG is much more like a country-club than the Grand Central Station atmosphere in Sanford. Highly recommend working in CRG under Tomas Gyuris (Chief CFI up there).

Their program is okay (part 141). I did a lot of my certificates at FlightSafety Academy in Vero Beach, back in the 90's. To compare the two is like comparing a Part 61 operation vs a Part 121 operation.

Fast forward almost two decades later, I have no up to date information.

But overall, I enjoyed CFI-ing in KCRG. The students there are all Jacksonville University students. They either flew M-W-F, or T-Th-Sa schedules.

All foreigners there. Mostly Chinese because its all contract work with own in-house DPE's. Plenty of equipment: PA-44's, C172 (six packs), SR-20's.
I was a student there, and yes I am domestic. I saw both sides of the glass door. I do not work there, nor I ever entertained it when they guaranteed me a job when I did my CFI. Instead I instruct at a school VERY close by with better pay. Good Luck. Safety First.
