no those instructors just don't have to have rediculous student loads like 10-14 (yeah i've had that many) and more manageable ones like 4-8 (preferably few enough to be able to fly them once a day if you can't fit them all in in one day its too many for the students sake) my perfect number is 5-6 ...

Sorry, but could you maybe elaborate on what that would be a solution to? I don't fully understand what that would solve. It would solve the problem of oversupply. There's just way too many cpl's flooding the market. There's no barriers to getting the license other than coming up with 50 to 60G. If...

F/O forever!

My solution is a cap on the number of CPL's dished out each year. The flight schools would scream bloody murder but we'd all end up so much better off (including the instructors once they found jobs paying them what they are worth). In my fantasy world I'd go so far as to put a freeze on licensing ...

Why is everyone so negative? It's still early in the year! Hold your head up high and keep trying Somthing will come along sooner or later.

Overall, it's a good company to work for. -Aircraft are top notch and very well maintained. -All of the staff are friendly. -Pay is average for the Coast. -Very long work days in the summer (understaffed, in my opinion.) -As of recent, they seem to be hiring pilots with less expirience than they hav...

The West Coast! Or should I say the Best Coast?

What happend to all the other posts that were on this thread? Or is this a duplicate?

You're right.. Right now would be a good time to be starting flight training!! Fuel costs have come down, instructors will be stickin around a bit longer and you'll be done in a year or two and ready to catch the next upswing! But if you're just finishing training right now, be ready to ride it out...

When you're spending more on it than you need to.

Good post Slats.

Oh and a 50 hour bush course goes for about 15,000 by the way...

Mr North, I'm not saying your wrong, but in my opinion, that is just as bad as paying for a PPC. Think about how much 50 hours on floats is going to cost you. 50 hour bush courses are a scam. You'll end up getting stuck with some 300 hour instructor sitting beside you who knows f-all about the bush....

hours = experience to many operators therefore the more hours the more experience if you can afford it then go ahead as you will hopefully learn more in 50 hours which is the most important factor anyway In my opinion, there is no difference between a 200 hour pilot and a 250 hour pilot. If I were ...

Lots of errors in the regs section. This was a few years back though.
