Actual CFI Pay Expectations

Ray,

In most cases if an instructor changes locations it’s because they want the change, not ATP. That said there are no guarantees. If you’re at a location and for some reason the demand at that location decreases, they need to move to a different airport etc you could find yourself needing to relocate. Same deal at the airlines.

I would say that most people remain in the same location, but there is no guarantee. I would not sign a 12 month lease.

Ray,

If you choose to instruct at ATP, ATP offers discounted month to month housing for instructors.

Hey Chris,
Can CFIs (for ATP) be let go if multiple students complain about them? I think I read that CFIs get some kind of bonus if their students pass exams/checkrides, but do they get penalized if their students consistently do poorly?

Jasmine,

Absolutely, an under performing CFI will be let go. You wouldn’t want them to be your instructor, would you?
