Hired and First Student..
Today I went in for my interview with the same FBO that I did my private pilot training. It wasnt really an interview though, it was more of a welcome, here is the practice area (which I already knew), oh and here are some students, have fun. Haha! I thought it was pretty cool though since I think thats what a new CFI needs, to just go at it.
The FBO that I am working at now has a program called “IFS.” This is the for the Marines, the military doesnt want to have new officers go to pilot training and waste money and time when they might not even be able to fly straight and level. So they send them to our school for 25 hours of flying each. We have 6 starting every other week, so there is alot of work to be had. I took on a student today who had only flown twice before that. It was an amazing experience, its also really scary. Theres not much to say about it, but I think I am going to enjoy this.

Thats exactly how I was hired for my non-ATP job also. Makes you kind of roll your eyes at all the melodrama if you ever went through ATP standardization (I never did.)
