Oil Pilot Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Aaron, I'm curious as to why after two years as a CFI, you haven't moved on, especially when Hillsboro's pay is well known to be very poor. As to the original question: I trained at Hillsboro in the R-22 and added in that time in the 300 I needed to be legal to instruct in it. If you can fly the R-22, you can easily fly the 300. The opposite is not true. If you are able to get yourself enough time to be employable in either aircraft, you greatly increase your chances of landing a job in what has become a very competitive market. Quote
aclark79 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Aaron, I'm curious as to why after two years as a CFI, you haven't moved on, especially when Hillsboro's pay is well known to be very poor. I was luck enough to come back to Hillsboro as an instructor after a year teaching in NY where I averaged just under 36 hours a month. Once I was at Hillsboro for a bit I was offered the Assistant Chief position, but had to agree to stay for a year total. It was worth it to me for the chance to become a CFI instructor and get that experiance as well teaching full downs. Having taught FOI's CFI ground and all the stage checks has without question made me a better pilot. I could have stayed in NY and gotten a tour pilots position, but frankly with cost of living it would have been the same pay at the end of the day. Now I'm just waiting until the tour season starts at Mt. St. Helens. If your started anytime after Oct 2002 we probably know each other. Quote
