sheble aviation in Arizona

Do they hire if you pick up your MEI there?

Generally No.....I was offered a job because i had been there 4 so long and got to know Joe Sheble SR. very well....you would have to impress Eddie Lane or SR. to get a job.

Its a good place but be ready to go with the flow.

VERY true. It's a laid back atmosphere, with sometimes laid back planning. If you have a good attitude and go with the flow they will take care of you and you should have a good time. It's a good place with good people. It sometimes seems like chaos in the office, but there is a master plan. For example: "After we're done training and I sign you off, I'm going to give you a ride to IFP in 89Q where you will meet Sr. at the Riverside after his ASES ride for your oral, meet him on the dock. By the time the oral is done, 562 will be on the ramp for the practical. Around the time you are done with that, I'll be back with 24C to pick you up, and if you don't mind we are going to drop you off in HII after we shoot an approach with my next student and you can fly 01H back to IGM. Any questions?"

I put this question in another thread, but haven't gotten an answer yet so I'll post it again... Those of you that did your CFI/CFII at Sheble, how did you feel your instructional skills were when you left? Did you feel prepared to teach or just prepared enough for the ride?

I used to be an instructor back back in the day and I will tell you one thing. Getting you Instructor ratings will not teach you on how to be a good instructor. The only way your instructional skills will get better is by instructing.

BTW, Sheble no longer can do the CFI checkride with an on staff examiner. The rules are changing nationwide, it appears. They use the Vegas FSDO now. But I believe the MEI and CFII check is done with an on-staff-examiner.

I use to work for sheble. Sr. is the best. Eddie don't mean squat. He is a crack head. You do it the way sr. wants it you will work out great.

I took my ride with one of the examiners there...it was very laid back.
