What all does the bonus program consist of?

Also we have a great bonus program built in, in addition to your base salary. To some this may be low, but what I've heard is that our health benefits are far superior than CAE. No co-insurance/deductibles. How do I know that? Well we have had instructors go over there and end up coming back to FlightSafety, just because of the training environment and politics. Also I have some personal friends over there too. Totally different, nothing negative just different philosophy. I'm a current FSI instructor and am happy to answer any questions.

What does the timeline look like from new hire to program manager? Does the move up in management translate to a better QoL, or is it purely a salary increase?

Does classroom count?

No, classroom doesn't count. Recurrent ground instructors (where I was anyway) could expect to do double ground schools (0730-1130 and 1200-1600 or 1200-1600 and 1630-2030) 6 days a week.

Or ground in the morning followed by sim in the afternoon, or vice versa.

New Hire

Hi, wondering if anyone has any updated intel on sim instructor hiring/positions at CAE vs. FSI. Looking at West Coast facilities, namely LAS and LGB for the 2 companies respectively. Any information is good, but I'm curious about scheduling/QOL. I'm happy to chat via PM if that's easier.
Thanks!

I see a lot of instructor positions and right seat fill SIC positions opening at the FSI Wilmington DE location. Any insight on QOL? Any part time positions available?
