All the resumes I've dropped off have been in person. One of the schools I stopped by mentioned that in person drop offs go at the top of the stack, while emails go to the bottom. I've not seen other schools cfi resume folders, but when I applied to Rainier at Renton, he put it in a big...

Thank you for your help. I agree and admit that I started off a little sour. I currently do have another form of employment, but my passion is flying. I don't care if it's barely going 100 mph full throttle in the 150, or hammerheads and snap rolls in a Pitts. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

I spent last summer at Arlington for a charity, working with afs. After the week, I dropped off an application, and like everyone, they "weren't hiring". I've worked a fair bit with their mechanic, Brian, as he is the mechanic for the 150. I didn't apply to wild blue, as Arlington was an hour...

What I'm hearing is, there's not a single student outside of Facebook, and not a single person has a life outside of Facebook. Thanks for the help. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

I asked for help, under my circumstances. Saying to use Facebook is like telling a fish to stop being a fish. I don't mind networking, or other forms of social media, but I've never found Facebook to be helpful. I've tried. My question was about how to advertise and get students without...

My closest airport is Bellingham. Arlington is where the plane owner has a hangar. So Arlington or Harvey would be much closer Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

The checkride failure? Yes I believe so, as I know it's something they'll ask and want to know about. At least I figure so. Should I not have a checkride failure on there? Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

That's my current route. I charge 50/hr in a 150 that he charges 100/hr for. So I'd say "low cost" is my current market. I don't know of anyone that cheap. My moving 3 hours away(after getting married) made things more difficult, the plane was down for a bit having a jug replaced after breaking...

I've t tried my local area as well and a few charter places that fly 172's. I did my training at ATP, failed my cfi initial, because your cfi checkride is 3 weeks after your com single ride, and 2 weeks of that is in a ground class. They expect you to buy lessons, which my dpe HATED, and chewed...

I don't know why my decision to not use Facebook is such a big hurdle for everyone to get over? I don't care what other people do or use, and there's TONS of people who don't have Facebook. Drop it. Get over it. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

No, I'm not moving back to Seattle. No, I'm not getting Facebook. Yes, I would love to get my cfii. But seeing as I literally have days where I only get to eat one small meal, paying for that ain't happening right now, do thanks for all the helpful responses. Why no flight schools have offered...

I've been an independent cfi for about a year and a half now. I was located near the Seattle area, with a plane (150j) my students rented from a friend. Most my students have been people he knows, but the must I've had is 2 at the same time. When I lived 20 minutes from the plane and they were...
