How many flight instructors did you have during your training?

[JetSpeed219]

So I'm just about done with my CFI and I'm about to loose my 5th flight instructor to the airlines. I have been flying for just over two years now and was wondering how many flight instructors you all went through during your training. I will be on my sixth and it's beginning to get frustrating!!!

8 thru multi and cfii. but i had a new one each semester in school, 2 for my initial cfi. goodluck finishing up!

 

[tom1178]

one pvt

one inst

one com....

and then i went to riddle and had 3 for my multi

one cfi

As pathetic as it sounds the regionals still pay more than instructing. Until that changes, flight instructing will be a revolving door profession

Also, you can endure only so many stalls and turns around a point

 

[DrewBlows]

Five through CFI. I flew with whoever was available for CFII, and had one sign me off. Did the same for MEI, but don't even remember who signed me off (I'm a few drinks in though, I might remember tomorrow).

 

[Folding_Expert]

Hmph, I've had 3 in my first 5 flying lessons.

Not good.

 

[labbats]

3 private

4 instrument

2 commercial

3 CFI

2 CFII

2 ME

2 MEI

 

[Superpilot92]

1 instructor for Pvt and Inst.

1 instructor for Comm Multi and CFI

Did CFII and MEI with a buddy.

The only reason why i had only two was because i started training in sept of 2001 a couple of days b4 911 and intructors where stuck instructing for a while because there were no jobs.

So did all of you loose them to airline/corp/etc. jobs? Or was it because of other circumstances? My first instructor is at SkyWest, second is with Ameriflight, third Horizon, Fourth is doing Air Ambulance, Fifth has an interview with Horizon on the 22nd and is pretty much getting the job because she is a UND grad and is a female........

 

[Ailerongirl]

Fifth has an interview with Horizon on the 22nd and is pretty much getting the job because she is a UND grad and is a female........

And because she's a competent pilot right?

Somebody sounds jealous...

And because she's a competent pilot right?

Edited original comment - I'll leave it to everyone's imagination what was placed here.

I made twice as much instructing as anyone I know on first year regional pay.

I had 3 instructors. 1 was awesome, 1 was good, and 1 sucked. They're all capt's at Skywest now.

1 - Inst
