Well just before I got to FSI for my second summer, CHQ, Commutair, an Cape Air had picked up quite a few instructors. Granted, most of those CHQ hires are now on furlough, and actually one of my check airman this year was one of them. But they will eventually get called back. And as far as what is going on now.....Lots of contact has been made to Mesaba from here. I expect some of our instructors will get interviews soon. Another good thing going on at FSI is there new internship program. You have to of gone through there CFI program to qualify, but they are sending instructors to all of the FSI sim centers across the country, and they are getting free type rateings. One guy I know worked at the SAV center, got a G-V type, and got hired my flex jet, or one of those fractionals, im not for sure. So with an industry in decline, things are looking a little brighter here at FSI.
