They at least need to take a long hard look at why they are instructing and flying in general. CFI/CFII has become a stepping stone to the airlines, in my opinion we need to encourage more people to try to make a career out of it, warning: that may include paying more or including benefits! I recently watched a YouTube video (save you eye rolling for a sec), I think it was Fly8MA, that looked at how Lufthansa trains pilots here in the US. They have full time CFI's they hire in the US and assign them 3 students, they are paid with a salary, have a benefits package and what looks like a great campus (gym, cafeteria, etc). I believe their base is 45K a year regardless of actual logged flight time.drseti wrote:Who here agrees that flight instructors who constantly make excuses not to fly with you should have their CFI revoked?
Thank you so much sir for your kind words. I owned it during a time I made $20.00 per hour as a structural steel draftsman. Aviation can be done on pennies if you do it the right way. The guy who owns it today is just as passionate about the ship as I was. He posts maintenance questions to me on Facebook and puts videos of him flying on Youtube.foresterpoole wrote:..That is one awesome helicopter bryancobb!...
Thanks for the kind words. An yes...a YHO-3BR is in the museum at Rucker and gave me the idea for a "WARBIRD" paintjob.Wm.Ince wrote:...
And by the way, that is quite the machine.
Isn’t there one at the US Army Aviation Museum, Ft. Rucker, Alabama?...
There was an old "crusty" CFI at the FBO. He didn't really even teach anymore but hung around because his wife was the lady behindJim Hardin wrote:I'm with Dan on revoking CFI's for attitude![]()
