As for a step up, there are a lot of other places hiring, and if it means instructing for 2-4 more months to get the time, for those who would do it, you're better off.

Good. I don't disagree that there may be better places to work but, flight instructing an extra 2-4 months in a single engine aircraft does not get the coveted multi engine time that's needed.

I know PDT has recently hired some 3-400 hour guys, 2-4 months isn't going to change where they were getting hired. Good for them for finding work. So, it's all relative.

Anyone on here start in the April class? I know a few people that got hired but not sure if there on here or not.

So much for that 1500 hour rule... :rolleyes:

I will say this to anyone looking at going to class at PDT or interviewing; You need to do some research.

This web board is an excellent place to start, you can read all the details about what the next 3-5 years hold for PDT and then make an educated decision for yourself.

If you cannot be arsed to even do the research, then you have nobody to blame but yourself.
