Pros

- Structured Flight Training (less work for the instructor) - Many different locations to hop to/from - Valuable multi-engine time (which will soon disappear with program change) - If you bust your butt, you'll make it through and get out to a better place

Cons

- Terrible Scheduling - Aircraft Availability (every aircraft on the ramp is "broke") - CFI School takes anywhere from 3-4 months with one DPE at KCRG who should have been fired a long time ago - Pay is around $7-$8 per hour for an instructor with a ground guarantee of around $1000, if you don't fly any that month you make the $1000 + change - Too many instructors are of the lowest quality, they floated through their ratings and now they're creating students who fail checkrides repeatedly because of their lack of knowledge and experience

Pros

Hours you fly are good and you not have to network to get students

Cons

You have to go through atp flight school as a student which has a 75% chance of passing the whole program. And after you get hired they are always looking for reasons to fire you.
