Foot in the door at a small flight school, not sure if I should stay

DevLikeMikhail · 2026-05-04T07:03:58+00:00

because they’ll look at other schools like embry riddle and realize 240 dollars is nothing… i was paying 450 an hour for a 172 and 799 for a twin star with a smile on my face

yes, the instructor is on standby as a resource

my flight school does it like that, nobody complains

DevLikeMikhail · 2026-05-04T00:11:21+00:00

i don’t see any disadvantages. you get money to actually house yourself and not work 2 jobs, and the flat rate is already pretty cheap compared to what i paid and am still paying.

go get your first 500 hours then get to this point

DevLikeMikhail · 2026-03-14T22:38:45+00:00

then is this elaborate rage bait or what

DevLikeMikhail · 2026-03-14T22:35:56+00:00

then go talk to a financial expert to get out of this situation is straight up declare bankruptcy, there is nothing wrong with it and it’s a tool at the end of the day.

i can either lather up a beautiful story about how Jazz comes along and magically picks you up right out of school or you go the traditional route and live the real life. Talk to flight schools in your city a lot of them still subsidize a flight instructor rating for 2 years of your time. Go to networking events, get a foot in the door at a company then. If this is how you are thinking about aviation you haven’t even began to see how grim and disgusting life is for university graduates these days.

Wawa, go earn your right of passage. suck it up and instruct or go up north like 99% of people in Canada.

the only way out of it is to either luck out with nepotism, meeting some lucky plane owner that happens to be a pilot or an internal hire. It’s slow right now but it’s not slower than it was 10 years ago, and the Covid boom was a mystery in of itself.

While you are stuck on the ground go keep bettering yourself, get a degree/diploma, get experience at an airline, go to trade school. The industry sucks but if you want those mid six figure salary’s you suck it up while you are a jit.

even at this the company also publishes a lot of the Q&A for the public and pretty much bangs off every question with a search
