If anyone has worked at PEA recently and cares to share thier experience please let me know. They have contacted me for a CFI position so im searching for information. How much and hour? What are the planes like? how long to upgrade to multi(I already have my MEI)? How many hours a month. All that good stuff. Thanks for the help!

I'm a VERY tolerant person and can work/play in a wide range of aircraft and still find them acceptable. However

I TRULY am glad I got out of PEA with my life. Tha A/C were not maintained at all. The instructors were mistreated and paid a very low wage.

This was in 2000, so things may have changed. I wouldn't work their, but I would get a rating or two there. It's all about your safety level and what you are willing to risk

Graduated a year ago and havn't been back since. Phnx East had a real crappy rep. among students and cfi's. Foreign instructors training foreign students. Shady if you ask me, I heard all sorts of stuff about them paying cash off the books to the non-us citizen Cfi's, i'd be careful If I were you. As for their planes, I've never heard of one crashing, I'm sure there arn't going to kill you, but i'm also sure they suck. I guess their benefit is they give you students. I worked at Falcon Flight Center before they closed, they were great. Maybe try Air America, they were the up and comming flight school when I left in Summer '05. Just convince a bunch of people you know to do their traning with you and before you know it, you'll be too busy. Thats what I did. Air America pays 20/hr single and 25/hr multi. Did a bit of instructing there. They are good. But hours are hours, doesn't matter if it's in an ERAU 172SP with TCAS/RADAR/GPWS/FLUX CAPACITOR/CONTINUIM TRANSFUNCTIONER or a 1976 172 with 150hp. Get the hours and watch your back. Good luck.
