Ive never heared of any 3/3 schedule for CFI. Helicopter Adventures Inc. was bought out by Bristow Group, the worlds largest offshore oil support company and now largest flight training facility. Bristow Academy as its known today, is still in Titusville, the center of the universe.

Some schools do use part time instructors. However, they tend to get whatever students the full timers don't take or can take care of.

No. Well, maybe if you can get your students to take 3 weeks off, also. You can ask them, and

when you come back after 3 weeks, they will then have a new instructor.
