AS350 pilot Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I had a thought about pay in our industry. Low pay seems to be a "TRICKLE UP" effect. By that I mean, if a new CFI is willing to take an extremely low wage to fly their first job, then two years later the same pilot will be willing to take a lower than standard pay to fly a turbine (tours), two years later they are sick of tours and willing to take substandard pay to move on in another direction….…and on and on the cycle goes. My point for students is - Don't judge a flight school solely on how CHEAP they are. When you are an employee, are you going to be looking for the CHEAPEST operator then? Food for thought. Fly safe, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you should try to get the most for your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
