Are student starts way down?

[Vandal]

Flight safety enrollment is way down...instructors have to fight to the death in "the pit" for students. Oh the humanity....Seriously though my instructor, or ex-instructor (just finished single engine ad today, yay!), has had a real problem getting students, latest private class was only 7 students compared to the 25 that were in my class in september. May just be seasonal, but peeps at flight safety are hurtin'

Unfortunately I don't have much info on the new Sawyer operation in Scottsdale, but I know they've been there for about 2-3 months.

You should definetly look into getting back to Phoenix and instructing here. Competition is high here, but there are a few CFI jobs around if you look hard enough for them. I've seen a few job posts for Tucson as well in the past few months.

Good luck!

Even in a good year March/April is the worst. Hopfully things will look up in the summer.

HU-16 - Things are real tight in Arizona, atleast in the Phoenix area. I'd have a backup plan if you come out here in case you can't get a CFI job.
