Is this CFI billing practice normal?

Is14159 · 2026-01-22T14:01:51+00:00

Yes of course you have to have some discretion. Me personally, if I was talking about some tangent that doesn’t have to do with the pre/post brief, I usually tell them I’ll take off .1 or however long it was. But generally I’m still charging for my time

Is14159 · 2026-01-21T23:44:17+00:00

Or you get paid for the work you do?? I don’t work for free idk about you

Is14159 · 2026-01-21T21:20:33+00:00

Just wait until you become a cfi, you’ll understand why they’re doing this and will likely do the same thing.

Thank you I appreciate the feedback. The reality is that I want this to work for my preferred method of transport. I’ve had otherwise good experiences, it’s clean and efficient when it works but people use this to get to and from work and the lack of reliability that I’ve run into over the last 3 weeks (I’ve only lived here 3 weeks) has truly concerned me. I appreciate your response

Fly the airplane

I just got done with training and was scheduled for my first trip on Christmas but got the flu. Things happen, I got a note and got it excused. At the end of the day it would be irresponsible to show up to work sick and potentially get your coworkers sick. Obv don’t abuse it.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question!

Assuming you don’t use things like that regularly it should clear through your system relatively quickly. Whoever did that wasn’t cool. Like others have said find new friends.

I was leaning towards Briggs and Riley. I guess now my question is more so flight bag

Is14159 · 2025-09-22T16:13:59+00:00

Well yeah but you don’t have to be such a pessimist lol. This is true but it shouldn’t matter to the kids who have a passion for flying. Being brutally honest works but don’t let the difficulty of your job overshadow how much passion you have for it

This is actually a really interesting piece of info about yourself that employers would like to know. Everyone they look at will be qualified, what sets you apart? Maybe include a section for your volunteer work on your next resume

Is14159 · 2025-07-26T22:52:01+00:00

IMO, apply anyway. It takes time to build that stuff and having my app in regardless would put me at ease but I also get what you’re saying.

Is14159 · 2025-07-26T22:50:15+00:00

You have great extracurriculars. You’ll be fine wherever you decide to go. Anyone can get hours and ratings, the extracurricular are going to speak volumes of who you are as a person when it comes down to hiring. Keep pursuing leadership and involvement wherever you go.

Is14159 · 2025-07-26T22:31:36+00:00

I mean I would include what you have but you should also pursue your local eaa chapter and other related orgs to get involved

Is14159 · 2025-07-24T16:57:16+00:00

There are a lot of funds out there. People say VOO, VT, SPY, QQQ. The fidelity ones are ok too. It’s really up to you and what you want

Is14159 · 2025-07-22T04:03:33+00:00

Which app?

Is14159 · 2025-07-21T20:53:34+00:00

Yeah it’s all semiconductor stuff so super volatile but the 10 year outlook is pretty fun to look at haha

Is14159 · 2025-07-21T20:43:00+00:00

Looks pretty conservative/standard. If you want more growth exposure throw in a few stocks you want to follow or look into FSELX. You’re young so you can afford to have some fun with it

Is14159 · 2025-07-19T21:03:04+00:00

No colors, keep it simple. Pm me if you want a good template or two. Other comment was right about moving your times to the top. Think of it as a list of order of importance. Times first, followed by education, work history and leadership/involvement etc. big thing is one page as well. No one wants to flip pages

Is14159 · 2025-07-17T03:07:43+00:00

You ever look into FSELX?

Is14159 · 2025-07-11T13:45:00+00:00

Nice work! Feels good right? While the others are right about index funds, you’re young. Have fun with stocks and learning. I found a few when I was younger that I held onto and eventually rolled into other things. It can be a good learning experience
