The big school is AF. And from what I've heard, they pay their instructors an incredibly low hourly wage.

If you are talking about the big school being AF, then you are seriously mis informed, I was salary there as a line instructor and made about 10K more then what my first year at Eagle is paying me.

As far as this new flight school goes I personally knew S.P. and he is a great guy, be careful there bogey, calling names if they are not true i.e. no proof can get you into a lot of trouble on the net, it is not as annoymous as you may think.

I wonder how they're planning on dealing with the winter flying up here. Those SR22's have deicing equipment, but does anyone know it's enough to allow for flight training in icing conditions?

Cirrus Aircraft are not certified for known icing.

Several pilots have died proving this point.

Fly SAFE!

I was looking into CFI work with them at ISP a few years ago and recall the hourly wage being somewhere around $10-12 dollars. I'm pretty sure about that too.

They changed it two years ago, I just quit last month, and the pay for the CFIs after being there one year is 3K per month, two weeks paid vacation, holidays off, and a five day a week work week, and medical benefits reimbursed up to 100 dollars per month, 25 dollars an hour overtime for any days worked over eight hours, or for any amount of time worked over 173 hours per month. As far as instructing goes it is by far and away the best place to work. And I am not pretty sure about that, I know it is right. Like I said, left one of the cicago schools OCT 1st.

That sounds a little better. Glad they increased pay/benefits.

In general though, it's disgusting that CFI's see so little of the share. Students getting charged upwards of 50 an hour for instruction and most CFI's see maybe $15-18 of it at most places.
