Where should I move as a CFI?

Posted by mclemma@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 7 comments

I am studying for my CFI right now and am thinking of where to apply for a CFI job after checkride. I am currently in western WA which is great but does not have good year-round flying because of the gloomy weather. Where should I apply or should I just stay in WA?

Any advice is appreciated :)

Don’t forget being an independent CFI.

Not sure if you’re aware of the current market. But getting a CFI job, really any aviation job right now is like striking gold. I’d recommend, if you can, go to a flight school that is currently hiring CFIs. Do your CFI training there. As it is with all flight schools, they will most likely hire someone within than someone from outside.

But who knows? Maybe when you finish your training, they wont be hiring.
